We all have big dreams, but the reality is that we’re not all starting from the same place. And that’s okay!

In this episode, we’re talking about how our starting lines can look completely different depending on where we are in life, our careers, our finances, and our families. As we navigate midlife (eek), our kids getting older, unexpected career changes, and the possibility of starting something new, we’re realizing that this next chapter is an opportunity to reassess what we really want.

Most importantly, we share why small wins, accountability, and having your besties in your corner can make all the difference. Because your journey doesn't have to look like anyone else's, and you don't have to have everything figured out before taking that first step.

Sometimes you just need to figure out where you're starting, decide where you want to go, and let your besties help you get there!

What does a Biz Club meeting actually look like?

Often it’s loud and silly and chaotic…but always fun and productive!

In this episode, we’re letting you sit in on one of ours.

We’re going around the table to check in on everyone’s progress, updates and roadblocks. We also talk about why starting small can be one of the best ways to figure out what you actually want your business to become. Sometimes that means testing your process on your friends, saying yes to an opportunity that scares you, or finally putting something on the calendar so you can’t keep putting it off.

This is a real look at what happens when we get together with some refreshing bevies, tasty bites, Post-its, and our besties full of ideas, opinions and accountability!

We all have things we love doing, but how do you take a passion, hobby, or skill and actually turn it into something more?
In this episode, we’re talking about our own experiences taking those first steps. Maria shares how simply bringing her colorful, healthy lunches to work unexpectedly turned into Mo Meals, an underground meal prep business serving up to 30 meals a day. Jason shares how a lifelong love of interior design went from something that felt unattainable to real projects with friends, giving him a chance to test his skills, develop his process, and figure out what kind of business he actually wants to build.
We’ll also talk about the pressure we put on ourselves to have everything figured out from the beginning, why your passion doesn’t need to replace your full-time income to be worth pursuing, and how starting with small wins can help turn that big dream in your head into something real.

You don’t need the perfect business plan or the biggest client. Sometimes you just need to try something, learn from it, and have a few besties around to ask you the most important question: why not?
