So you want to start a business, but you have nothing in the bank to do it with. No budget for courses, coaches, or branding packages. Just you, an idea, and a whole lot of uncertainty about where to begin.In this first episode, I'm going back to the very beginning — my beginning — and walking you through the five steps that made the difference between building something real and just wishing I had. It starts in 2020, in the middle of a season of life I never saw coming, and it gets honest pretty quickly.This isn't a shortcut episode. It's not about overnight success or aggressive growth strategies. It's about what it actually looks like to build with intention when the odds feel stacked against you — and why that might be exactly the foundation you need.If you're at the start of something, or it feels like you're starting over, this episode was made for you.Check out Laura Costello https://www.lauracostelloart.com/ Make a Copy of our *FREE* Profit and Loss Template: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJxVr62F99dHM6q89VZuo_fRpGoBAhTXawxqUTF2qhPKuvYg/viewform?usp=publish-editorWebsite: https://www.ledgerleafbookkeeping.com/Instagram: @ledgerleaf https://www.instagram.com/ledgerleafFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Ledger-Leaf-Bookkeeping-LLC/61569063584691/Book a Chat with me: https://calendly.com/brenna-ledgerleafbookkeeping/30minDisclaimer: I am not an accountant, CPA, or legal professional.
