Dawn Lundin and I have such a great conversation in this podcast interview. We talk about starting a private practice and the kind of support we needed at that time, and we talk about how the need for the support continues past the beginning days of being a business owner.

Dawn shares the details with us about all of the different people who have helped her in her own business since she started. This interview really highlights the fact that most of us truly do need support in our businesses in both the areas that we don’t know very much about and the areas of business that we just don’t like or aren’t good at!

I hope you are inspired by this interview!

Some of the topics discussed include:

• The inspiration behind Dawn’s private practice
