I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’ve been in business for five years! 

I’m here to celebrate my five years in business with you! Sure, we’re celebrating some wins, but this episode isn’t just a highlight reel. We’re going behind the scenes and getting into the mistakes, the lessons learned, and all that good stuff that goes into running a business. 

At the end of the episode, I’m also sharing my predictions for the future of the online space based on what I’ve seen over these last five years.

I can’t protect you from all the hurdles that will come your way in business, but I hope you can learn something from my mistakes and be reassured that no matter what mistakes I’ve made, I’m still here! 

Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey or further along than me, this episode has something for you!
