Summary
How can you make your BIG dreams happen on a SMALL budget? After wrapping up the 2024 Powerhouse Women Event and coming out of that incredible weekend feeling re-energized, inspired, and truly expanded, I wanted to revisit a past episode where I brought on two of my close girlfriends to share our perspectives on bootstrapping our businesses to 6-figures and beyond. I, alongside Kelly Kussman, Founder of Cayla Gray, and Carly Gilleland, Founder & CEO of The Good Vibe Media, will walk you through the authentic entrepreneurial journey, from the challenges of early stages to actually breaking our first 6-figures. Through our stories, I hope you'll be able to take away major learnings + action steps for launching a product based business from scratch, so you see the results you desire come to life. If you've got a vision sitting on your heart, here's how you can bring it to the next level while ballin' on a budget!
