Episode 687
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 46 of Season II! This week on the show, we featured produce temporary tattoos with zero startup costs, a mother who creates her own version of the puffy coat for plush profits, and a couple of Aussies who make six-figures selling journals that encourage self-care. Speaking of Aussies, this week I’ve been on location in Australia, one of my favorite places in the entire world. While there were a lot of lessons this week, one that stood out the most came in the form of a quote from Alex of Saint Belford in Ep. 683. She said, “How boring would it be if EVERYTHING went exactly to plan and you achieved your goals without any hurdles. The hurdles are what keep things interesting. The hurdles make us better, more resilient versions of ourselves.” It's a great point! But, at the same time, I also believe in saving yourself some trouble... To save yourself some trouble with all of those hurdles, check out today's Weekly Recap.WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Jen Glantz, who was featured on the show in Ep. 83. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Jen herself! You can also check out her website, Bridesmaid For Hire.
