If you've ever thought, I want to be my own boss, but you have no idea how, this episode is the

permission slip, push, and playbook you've been needing to start. I'm here with my friend Mallory

Rowan, and we both were sitting at jobs we hated daydreaming of quitting, but had no roadmap

in sight. So this episode is covering all of the real talk on starting your own business from

scratch, why entrepreneurship was our ticket to financial freedom, and the launch pad that we've built to help you do the same. But first, a word from our sponsors. This podcast is brought to you by Squarespace. One of the biggest things I hear from people who want to be business owners is they don't know where to start. They're like, I don't know what to do. I'm so overwhelmed. I want to start

this business, but I need a logo and I need brand colors. And they make a million excuses to

prevent them from getting started because they're too afraid of failure. They're too afraid of

their business failing. And I've done the research for you. Squarespace. Squarespace is what you

need to start that business finally. Squarespace was the

first investment I made in my business way back in 2016, and they make it so easy for you to get a

custom website without having to know how to code and without spending thousands and thousands of

dollars. Squarespace has a bunch of stuff in addition to their website features. The best thing about

Squarespace is they're saving you money and a bunch of other things. They're helping you design emails using

their email campaign tool. They're helping you set up SEO tools with website optimization

that is built into Squarespace and they help you offer your services so you can get paid all

in one place. You don't have to use another third party platform. If you're ready to start that business and you want to save money, Squarespace is the place for you.
