Documenting The Journey #2 - Launching!

When starting a business, it is common for entrepreneurs to be consumed by their desires for perfection. Striving for perfection is normal when starting a business, but hosts Brandon Cockrell and Misty Romero explain that mistakes are essential to the entrepreneurial process. In today’s episode, your hosts discuss how to conquer your fears and launch the business of your dreams. Running your own business can give you financial freedom, but it is important to understand that starting a business is no small task.
