Don’t you just wish you could flash forward and know that everything will work out with your business idea?

Self-doubt holds back so much potential in the early days, and our business builders in this episode know all about working through the pain. Caroline & Kelly, business partners in Solmates, share all of the things they wish they knew, how they’ve grown to establish a successful business in partnership and why it’s important to back yourself from the beginning.

You’ll also hear about:

• How a desire for purpose kick started an adventure
• Finding a partner for the elements you need to make a business thrive
• The realities of designing and manufacturing a brand new product
• Managing the planning of a business when there’s no competitors to benchmark against
• The benefits of DIY when launching
• And the random skills you develop as a business owner

If you want to learn from people who’ve gone before, but who are still in the thick of it, and feel some solidarity and support in your own business endeavours, you’re in the right place.
