Does uncertainty hold you back from your entrepreneur dreams? Are you worried that you might screw up, make a mistake, or fall flat on your face? We’re here to take away your uncertainty… we guarantee that you will do all of those things, and it’s ok.
Being an entrepreneur is not about being perfect. It’s about experimenting, blazing a new trail, and doing things differently. And when you’re doing something you’ve never done before, you’re going to make mistakes.
Every week we talk to an entrepreneur about a mistake that they’ve made, what they learned from it, and how they continue to grow through community and education.
Mistakes are inevitable, perfection’s impossible, so let’s embrace the mistake!

Shipping Settings Matter A Lot
Shipping is complicated. Understanding weights, box sizes, and regions is essential to make sure you are charging enough.

Don’t Rush to Hire Help
When you discover something isn’t working in your business, the knee-jerk reaction can be to hire someone to solve the problem. But hiring a coach or expert is just like any other expense – you must determine if the revenue created from that expert will be commensurate with their cost.
In this episode, Sally Meyers of Rebel Unstuck, talks about panic hiring coaches and spending far more money than she needed to. She realized if she just stopped and took some time, she already had a lot of information and expertise – she just needed to trust herself.

Know The Purpose of Your Marketing Content
Contrary to popular wisdom, your top marketing goal shouldn’t be to get lots of views since you aren’t an influencer. Your goal should be to get potential consumers to engage with your business.
