What does it actually take to build a business that lasts? In this episode, I sit down with Anna Rodney to talk about managing five businesses, raising three kids as a single mom, navigating perimenopause and low energy, and still finding ways to keep moving forward. We talk about planting seeds, putting in the work now that can pay off years later, becoming impossible to overlook, building relationships that get people talking about you, and Anna’s best advice for newer business owners. Plus, we dive into how entrepreneurship can become one of the most unexpected ways to learn who you really are and what you’re capable of.
