Community Part 1

Does a supportive community surround you? No question owning your own business is hard work. It takes a lot of time, effort, and dedication to making it successful, but many business owners like yourself don't realize that you don't have to go at it alone. More importantly, you shouldn't! You need a community of people who can offer encouragement and advice when things get tough. When you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, having this kind of community can be the difference between success and failure. 

 

In the episodes leading up to this one, I have introduced many of the powerhouse women in my community. Today's episode is part one of my two-part discussion over community. While I don't have an official guest on today's show, you will hear my grandson, who is just as pumped up about this conversation as I am, in the background. 

 

"You need that community of people who can love you through whatever that thing is gonna stand in the gap for you, or whatever that thing is when you can't do it for yourself." - Gwendolyn Young.
