Whether you’ve been building your business for 35 years… or you’re just sketching your first idea on a napkin, or just love the idea of investing… this channel is for you. Join me on my quest to learn from as many business owners as I can. My husband and I have owned our business for 10 years now. Neither of us had formal business training, and we have learned a lot... But there is still so much that we don't know.When we are out to dinner or hanging out with our friends that also own a business, something clicks. We could sit and talk for hours. Sometime's they've implemented and learned something that we don't know yet. Sometimes they are struggling with something that we figured out a few years ago. We all learn from each other and are able to find something new to implement into our business to make it one step better and run a little bit smoother. Even when our industries are completely different, the principles of business success and struggles are all the same. Employee management, money management, work automation, website, work/life balance, paths of success...etc. We all deal with it to some degree and can relate in a special way.The more conversations I had, the more I realized - we ALL love listening to other business owners talk. Learning their strategies, their struggles, how they got to where they are today, and where they want to go next. What to do, what not to do...You can spend 30 years learning and making mistakes, or you can save a lot of time by talking with someone who is 30 years ahead of you. Or even 1 year ahead of you. That’s why I started this channel.I’m on a quest to talk with as many business owners as possible. To share their stories, their strategies, and the lessons that helped them grow. I want to listen and learn. I know that these conversations are beneficial to both starting entrepreneurs as well as seasoned business owners.So join in and listen!
