August marked the second year of my coaching business! Woohoo! Two years into entrepreneurship and I’m running two businesses - my coaching business online and my local pet sitting business – and it has been quite a journey. A journey with some mistakes along the way!

Mistakes happen in business, no matter what year of business you’re in. I don’t consider business mistakes to be a bad thing because I believe you only learn and grow from each one. And that makes your business even stronger.

I made one critical mistake in my second year of business, but I also corrected that mistake in the same year. I waited far too long to dig into mindset work and instead focused on strategy thinking I needed to learn “how” rather than learn how to BE.

Inside the episode I talk about:

• Business mistakes I made in my second year as an entrepreneur
• The importance of learning and growing from mistakes
• How I thought strategy was more important to learn over mindset
• How I learned to BE a business owner
• How I learned there are layers to mindset work
• The Catch-22 of not having the money to hire the coach, but needing the coach to receive the money
• How we don’t need to know “how” it’s going to happen, we can just believe it will
• How working on my mindset with my Empowerment Coach Andrea Crisp has changed my life and business
