We’re talkin’ “bad” business decisions in this episode.

You know, the ones where you hired someone to help you with your business, you said yes to investing in something to grow your business, or you hired an employee...

...and it just didn’t work out? So you then beat the crap out of yourself for making that decision?

Yeah, those decisions!

Well, we’ve got some thoughts ‘em, like...

Why most business owners fall into the “I’m a terrible business owner!” after they made a “bad” decision
Why we stopped using the word “bad” to describe business decisions that didn’t go exactly like we wanted them to
How to avoid thinking about a “bad” business decision for weeks, months, or years after you made it
How to use “bad” decisions to your advantage as a business owner

*Important Disclaimer: in this episode, we’re not referring to business-related decisions that negatively or significantly affect your overall financial, physical, or emotional well-being.

What It's Like To Be a Mother-Daughter Team

Want to hear what it’s like to work in a family business?

This week, we pull back the curtain and talk about the topics most people are curious about when they hear we’re a mother-daughter team:

How we started working together
Ways we keep business and home life separate
How we’ve made our team dynamic work so we avoid drama and fighting
Lessons we’ve learned from each other that have made both of us better entrepreneurs

And even if you have no desire to bring your family into your business, you’ll still get a lot out of this episode if you have or want to have a team!

Why it’s so hard for many entrepreneurs to take time off from their business

Have trouble taking time off from your business?

Well, you’re not alone. A lot of entrepreneurs do.

Today, we’re not gonna tell you you have to take time off (you already know you should).

Instead, we’re digging into *why* it's so challenging to take time off.

And we’ve got some thoughts, like...

How we define downtime/time off from the business (it’s not the “laptop lifestyle”)
How to squash the guilt ridden “entrepreneur martyr thoughts” (like, “I didn’t work hard enough to take time off!”)
How we should stop thinking of “downtime” as a reward and more of an essential ingredient to our business’s success
