Starting a business is hard work. Nearly 25% of businesses FAIL within their first 12 MONTHS!
To further the challenges that many entrepreneurs are faced with, minimal capital and formal experience can lead to time inefficiency and mental fatigue. Utilizing cost and time effective resources are key to your success.
Every single day I am learning, and it's true, "If I only knew then what I know now." Many aspects of my business and the systems I have now could and SHOULD have and been implemented from the start. In doing so, I would have saved myself hours of mundane work, long nights, migraines, anxiety attacks, and money. Not to mention I may have even accelerated my business and personal success!
