Baggage. We all have it. When I showed up to the very first business we started, I had it. Obviously, I had no idea I had it, but it was there. Justin always had so many ideas and was so excited. When he came to me with those ideas, I was scared first, then excited, then stressed and excited. It was fun at times and so heavy at times. He rocked my world. Why was he so different than me? It wasn't until I realized how differently we were thinking about our business... And how much that was affecting our business and personal life, to say the least!
