“My biggest message is work. I just want people to quit being afraid of working hard. Some of my biggest questions are how to you own businesses or how are you successful at it. Honestly, work. Just put in the work.” - Kayleigh Flippen

This week we have one of our favorite boss babe friends on the podcast with us, Kayleigh Flippen. Her friendship shows the power of social media because we have actually never met in person. But over the past year this gal has become one of our besties. We have watched her balance multiple businesses, grow in her fitness, and step into sharing more about veganism. Of course we love seeing her fur babies too!

We dive into what it takes to run your own business. She started her first business at 17 and knew she never wanted to work for anyone else. After watching her mom become a successful entrepreneur she knew this would be her calling. With 3 businesses under her belt she has only had success. How? Every business has been carefully and thoughtfully planned out; with a 10 year plan in mind. “If you know what you wanna do, then do something about it. These people fantasize entrepreneurship, they think it’s going to be this amazing thing. You’re going to have all this free time. You’re going to be your own boss. But no, no. You have to know exactly what you want. You have to go at it with so much faith and fury and tenacity. It’s really hard work. Like you have to go after it. If you don’t know what you want to do than you’re not ready.”

We touch on many topics this week including:

• Background and what got Kayleigh into entrepreneurship

• First business

• Who and what inspired her to become an entrepreneur

• What it’s like owning and working with a spouse

• What started her fitness journey and how it’s evolved over the years
