Ep: 66 - First Big Purchases
from Mixing Family and Business Podcast · host Brian, Tom Hahn - Kim Chapman
Ever wish you could go back and give your younger self some straight-shooting business advice? We get brutally honest about what we’d do differently, from investing smarter to making sure we actually love the businesses we’re in. Hear firsthand why doing your research, working in the industry before going all-in, and writing a no-nonsense business plan changes everything. No more jumping in blind, learn how careful groundwork sets you up for long-term success. Thinking about investing in a franchise, expanding, or just figuring out what equipment is worth every penny? I walk you through our very real decisions, share the wins, the “uh-ohs,” and the times when we just had to trust our gut. We talk through the rewards and the headaches. How sometimes even after all your prep, sleepless nights happen, and surprises (like parking lot sinkholes!) can shake things up. Spoiler: you CAN make it through. Whether you’re running a side gig or wrangling seven locations, my goal is to help you make confident decisions with your business, your money, and your family.
