Brand strategist and website design guru, Heather Grace, shares the one thing she wished she knew from the beginning of her entrepreneurial journey: It’s going to take time - and that’s okay.

When her husband was diagnosed with cancer in the first year of their marriage, she saw a need, answered the call and became a small business owner almost without noticing it.

Adriana Giorgetti, from PostingBee, and I sat down to talk about our passion - social media.

We dive into so many of the common issues and stressors small businesses face in the beginning when starting their social media accounts. We talk about owning the platform that works for you, how to repurpose content so you aren’t always re-inventing the wheel, and the keys to engagement.

Her One Thing: Take It Easy. You don’t have to know everything, do everything all by yourself.

If you have ever thought about starting an online course OR if you know you are meant to be an entrepreneur but aren't sure the business you want to start, today's guest is a must-listen! Leslie Cason is the owner of The Creative Enclave, a tech studio that helps course creators build their learning environments on Teachable and Kajabi, and she launched into this with absolutely no experience!

Her entrepreneurial journey is certainly not the traditional route that focuses on turning a passion into a business. She flipped that narrative and knew she wanted to be an entrepreneur before she even know what she wanted to do.

Her One Thing: Focusing on ALL the wrong things at the start of her biz.
