Ever wonder how some women seem to "have it all" - successful businesses, happy families, and actual time to enjoy both?
My aunt Kimberlie Jacobsen owns 17 Great Clips salons, runs a 250-client CPA practice, and raised three boys. Her net worth? $7-8 million. But here's what surprised me most when I interviewed her for this week's episode: She picked her kids up from school every single day.
Join me this week to discover why most people don’t have the stomach for the game that is entrepreneurship, and my aunt Kim’s journey of crushing it in business for decades. You’ll hear how to handle the emotional ups and downs of entrepreneurship, why communication about money is more important than the dollar amount, and how to create a life where you can do anything you want without looking at the bill.
