It’s easy to see somebody with a business of their own and conjure up all sorts of assumptions. Personally, we’ve been told things like - how lucky we are, how nice it must be to call the shots, how fortunate we are to do what we love and how blessed we are to work around kids. In this episode, we dish the dirt on some of the lessons & failures we’ve had since launching both of our businesses 10+ years ago. Let’s just say that luck & business shouldn’t rarely be used in the same sentence! 

Things We Mention - 

• What it’s like to watch $50k go down the drain. 
• How owning a business isn’t always as glamorous as it seems. 
• Why starting small & staying humble is always the best approach. 
• Not trusting yourself and putting your business in the hands of others will almost always backfire. 

PLUS, we reveal how the road to get to where we are today was far from smooth. It was bumpy, scary, full of twists & turns and included multiple dead-ends.
