BONUS CONTENT (Follow-up Q & A with Annie)

Roberto: If you were starting your entrepreneurial journey over from the beginning, what would you do differently?

Annie: I would ask for help and hire help earlier.  I did everything right from the start and burnout very quickly.

Roberto: What’s your number one way of dealing with the voices of self doubt?

Annie: I recognize the voices of self doubt for what they are:  Liars trying to detract me from my goals.  I ignore them.

Roberto: What has helped you most in building community around your business?

Annie: Staying connected with clients and peers.  Reaching out just to say hello with no agenda.
