If you are in a challenging season or launching something new in the world, this episode is for you. I’m sharing a throwback of Natalie Ellis interviewing me on the Bossbabe podcast about the entire story from the original idea, to pivoting the entire company $1M dollars in. Hitting roadblock after roadblock, I share what every entrepreneur should do faster to get unstuck and have the support you need. Plus, I share how to show up as a leader ESPECIALLY on the hard days, the power of fast decision making, and why a pivot might be what you need to take your business to the next level. I hope this episode is proof you can go out and do the “impossible” thing, raise the money, and gain the skills to crush your goals in 2025 and beyond.
