The Real Reason Why I Want You To Have a Life-First Business
In the first episode of this brand new series on Building a Life First Business!
I wanted to kick things off with my own personal story that has deeply impacted the lens that I see the world through - and is a huge part of why I do the work I do.
My mother was 31yo business owner when a car accident left her in a coma for 3 months and in the hospital for another 2 years before returning home to her family. She experienced a Traumatic Brain Injury that would leaver her permanently disabled for the rest of her life.
She survived but lost her business... and even more, she missed the early days of my and my sisters childhoods.
This episode is deeply personal but if you really want to know why I care so much about building businesses that actually allow you to enjoy your life - my story is a reminder that all we have is today.
