3 Main Takeaways:

1. Having a firm understanding of your “why” is vital to running a business, and it can be a hard thing/tough process to go through to pinpoint exactly what that is.
2. It’s highly unlikely to find success with your first business venture. Keep pushing, pivoting and growing through your failures.
3. Don’t try to do it alone. Find groups, mentors, coaches and/or masterminds to help you progress through your journey.
