Julia Xu was always entrepreneurial, but she had no idea that she would one day run four businesses. However, each one started naturally after the previous one she started. Today, she runs a consulting business, a home office shop, an ecommerce shop, and an automated product sourcing platform. 




In today's episode, we talk with Julia Xu–founder of USourced, ReSourcery, Multitasky, and Julia Xu Consulting–to find out how she balances it all, the importance of the right friendships, how to decide if fundraising is right, and so much more. 




"So I don't feel like work is work, work is life in a way where I'm actually building something that I truly believe in, and I'm truly passionate about, and I wouldn't be anywhere else, I would rather just be working on this." - Julia Xu
