Love Your Business

The last few weeks of January I mentioned that this month would be dedicated to loving your business and I'm so excited to launch this free series on the blog for you.  Choosing to become a business owner in any field is a huge leap for anyone.  Not only do you have new responsibilities, but learning how much it actually takes to run a business can be the most stressful yet rewarding job of all.  Throughout the entire month of February I want to dedicate this as a place for you to become or stay inspired and to learn to love your business.  Some amazing contributors (!!!) will be stopping by each week to share with you their own experiences within 5 different topics that I have put together.

  10. Awesome idea! I love to hear how others stay organized and run a business. We have two small businesses (in addition to my hubby's full time job), so I'm always looking for ways to streamline things. Thank you!
