I am so stealing NJ’s words of the year for 2017! I just listened to this episode this morning (I kind of worked my way backwards in the podcast numbers)your personal word really hit home. I need to learn to be happy with my business where it is and know that it will grow in time. No one started a business and was able to quite there job the same week due to the about of income they made.
I had been listening to the podcast for about 3 months now and it has been such a blessing to me! So many blogs or podcasts don’t give hope to the “little people” who are doing everything for themselves and do not have the money to pay someone yet. I love the Dana and NJ moments, I helps me realize you are “normal” people like us and you just have to work through what life brings you. Love listening to you girls.
