203 / Treating Your Business Like A Business To Protect It (And You) Financially
There are a lot of women out there that are in business. In fact, around 40% of all US based businesses are owned by women, and these businesses employ around 10 million workers. As it stands today, women are more likely to start a business than men are.\nWhich makes you brave. Because running a business in any form and at any scale is hard. Each and every stage has its own challenges, and those challenges evolve, they don\u2019t disappear.\nOn this episode I share my lessons on how to treat your business like a business, so that you can protect that business AND yourself. So you can not just look like a real business, but actually be one, so you can go into your work with confidence and credibility, and so your business challenges don\u2019t bleed into and become your personal challenges too.\nAs the quote says: treat your business like a business and it\u2019ll pay you like one. Treat your business like a hobby and it\u2019ll cost you like one.\nKnow your value. Find your people. Give greatly and protect fiercely.\xa0\nLike what you heard?
