Being in business for the right reasons is very important. That being, making money vs. making a difference. Having previous struggles can help you relate to clients that you are genuinely trying to help. The ability to relate to clients is a huge advantage when turning an idea into a thriving business. For both parties, having a good support system is crucial, especially because you will have struggles, not only with the business but also with yourself and staying motivated.
The best businesses start with messy action. Whether people are perfectionist or procrastinators, they tend to wait way too long to start their businesses. It's not going to be perfect at first but after bringing in your first few clients, it will start to snowball after that. Just take your business off the ground, even if you don't have everything lined up perfectly. Each step could fail but you will learn from it.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
