Summary
In this episode, Dan and Ian talk about 9 tough truths about running or starting your business that bloggers won’t tell you about. Starting a business requires a lot of sweat, tears and sacrifices. You’ll feel lost or depressed every once in a while. You’ll have to stay at home while your friends go out and have expensive cocktails. Friends and family won’t understand or support what you’re doing. This episode is dedicated to these less glamourous parts of entrepreneurship.
Dan and Ian also share their top 3 tips for people who are getting started with their business.
In the quick tips section Dan and Ian talk about some of their favorite software and a really funny video.
