As long as you continue to move forward and lean into your business, it will continue. That’s exactly what we mean when we argue that your business will run as long as you run it. If a business is going on even in the face of adversity, it’s because the owner is still going at it and won’t give up on it, and that’s ultimately the key.

Listen in to this episode as we discuss this, giving various examples of how our businesses are still going strong because of the energy that we put into them. Although we run our businesses a bit differently, we are both very passionate about our businesses and make sure that they run one way or another.

We also talk about how running your business often involves pivoting and becoming a serial entrepreneur, running more than one business. Running your business also involves knowing your numbers and checking in on your progress somewhere where you document your progress, anticipating potential problems and issues that could arise in the future and either preparing for them or taking action to avoid them. 

We really had a great time having this conversation and hope that it’s helpful and insightful for you!
