304: Transforming Business to Support Life: A Journey with Collected Living Design

I’m excited to welcome Abby, Trent, and Laurie from Collected Living Design. This trio of business partners is sharing how they have taken their growing business and turned it into a business that truly supports their lives. They have been on this journey with us at Tap the Potential for about 1-½ years, and they have accomplished incredible things. Each of them is growing as a human being and learning valuable life lessons as they tweak their roles as business owners/partners. They have each been able to take extended time away from their business to enjoy their lives and families, which is a huge step for any small business owner.
