#21: Imposter

No matter your achievements, there's always a feeling that you're not doing it right. That everyone else has it all figured out, and you don't belong. This is Imposter Syndrome. Don't worry, you're not alone. Most successful massage business owners feel this every single day, and even worse, it never goes away.

#18: Alone

We spend so much time working on our new business we often lose important connections with some of those around us. And because most of the people we know don't have a clue as to what it's like to open their own business, they can't possibly understand what you're going through. This can be extremely lonely.

We want to dedicate this episode to all of the service members and their families. Today is 11, November, 2019. Veteran's Day.
