Yolanda McAdam really understands the reality of being a small business owner, for one very simple reason:
Her business, Suite 532 isn’t her first business. First there, was a safari business. Then, there was a coaching business. But, as a result of burnout, and the challenges of moving from South Africa to Canada and not knowing a lot of people, she decided to go back to working a 9-to-5 job for a while. Eventually, she quit that job and started the business she runs today, Suite 532.
For those of you who are currently running your first business, there’s a lot that you can learn from her. Because this episode is Yolanda’s honest reflection on what making plenty of mistakes along the way taught her about what it takes to succeed as an online business owner.
