The more time you sit on the idea of wanting to start instead of taking action, the harder it gets! Think of this episode as your blueprint for this business. It can get so frustrating scrolling through tons of google articles just looking for some SOLID advice on this industry and how to get started. That's what this podcast is all about; I want you to have somewhere to go and learn from someone you trust who KNOWS this business.
I went straight to the source on this one!

This episode is a bit of a rant! It's full of all the things that I wish someone told me at the beginning of my journey. I dig deep into understanding why hearing "no" is a good thing, and how not letting the rejection tear you down is essential to our happiness and success in life.
