In today's episode, Olivia and Whitney discuss the things they wish they had known when starting their businesses. They share why it’s valuable and kind to set clear boundaries in the beginning of a client relationship and stick to them even though it feels hard. You'll hear why it is important to set up systems and processes before the business explodes because the band aid method will only get you so far, and that as entrepreneurs we don’t have to be the best at everything and you can outsource to receive support from someone who is great in that area.
