She Had A Vision
This podcast is a community for women who are current or aspiring entrepreneurs or visionaries because they will hear from real, everyday female small business owners, rather than celebrities or big brands on what it really means to start and grow a business. Each episode focuses on the lessons learned on owning a small business, so one can feel better equipped with the resources and information on how to take that first scary step into launching a business, growing it and maintaining its value for years to come. Starting your own business takes grit, but also an insane amount of courage. So for the listeners if you are dreaming about your small business while currently working your day job, I hope my series of interviews will make your dream become a reality. Let's explore these amazing stories how these women had a vision and made things happen.
