173: Hard Truths You Need To Hear About Business

This episode is for a specific listener, friend. It is specific to the female business owner out there who is wondering if working for herself is all that it's cracked up to be. It's the woman who is thinking about taking the leap from being a classroom teacher to going full-time in her side-hustle. It's for the woman who is scared shitless right now because her dream isn't working out just how she thought now that she's 1 1/2 years into self-employment. It's for the woman who has been building this company for 7 years and now she's wondering if there's something else her heart is calling her to (cue Reba McIntire "Is There Life Out There?"). It's for the woman who is considering a leap of faith, and I want her to feel validated in her fears and also prepared for what will be expected of her in this next season of reaching. Today, I'm here to share 7 hard truths I've learned about running a business in the 7+ years I've owned and operated Molly Knuth Media. In today's Instagrammable world of glamorizing the time freedom, financial opportunities, upward mobility that self-employment can bring, I want this episode to be a resource to talk about the less-than-glamorous side of working for yourself. Because while it is incredibly worthwhile and the way of the future (I firmly believe it), entrepreneurship and small business ownership is anything but easy. And I don't want you to feel like you are "behind" in life or that someone has the secret to being a woman/mom/friend/business owner all figured out in some secret handbook that you never received. I want you to hear in this episode the hard side of business that I wish someone had shared with me, so I didn't feel alone and ashamed at various points of my own small business journey. 10 Hard Truths You Need to Hear About Business

You need to work
Then, you need to work less
You will fuck up
You will lose people
No one owes you their money or their business
Not everyone is cut out for this
It's ok to quit
