We’re walking down memory lane today back to 2015 when I first quit my job and then the process of starting my business. As a business owner who has been in it for a while, it can be easy to forget to share about the early days because you get so focused on what’s going on now. This isn’t going to be one of those “I was at the bottom, now I’m here!” types of stories. But, I do want to just share with you what things were like when I was freelancing and in the early days of making my business official. So, I’m sharing the story of it all + what an actual day in the life was like!
You’ll hear me share things like what our family’s finances were like back then, all the side hustles I did to make money while building my business, what my work days were like between all the odd jobs, and more! I’m even sharing details from a document I wrote in 2015 titled “Ideas for $ freelancing”.
If you’re in that first year of business ownership, thinking of starting a business soon, or are freelancing and you’re not sure what to do next, I hope this encourages and motivates you in your journey! And if you’ve been at it a lot longer, then I hope this will be a fun get to know each other better episode for you. I’ll also be sharing throughout this episode 5 different tips for the early days — those things I WISH I knew back then as a new business owner that I know now, and that I want you to know!
