It wasn’t long into my own business journey that I discovered I was opposite of many business owners in one key way.

Sponsor Saturday: Smallz’ New Dream
Meet my dog-son, Smallz Pippin. He’s not only — obviously — the most HANDSOME and SMARTEST dog in the world, he’s the absolute sweetest. I used to have a pet peeve that TRULY irritated me to my very core: People who acted like their pets were “like children.” I would literally mock them and say

Mistakes I Made In Month One of My Business

Where My Work Ethic Held Me Back & Cost Me Tons of Profit

The Entrepreneur’s Love/Hate Relationship With Systems
Life is ironic, isn’t it? You quit your J-O-B because — deep down — you’ve always been unemployable. You carve your own path. You fly by the seat of your pants, and you do NOT like being told what you must do and when. Then, you open your doors — be they brick and mortar
