When you’re a young business owner, how do you get taken seriously, especially when you’re still building confidence, cash flow and credibility at the same time?
Lisa sits down with Rachel Fowler (The Press café in Wagga Wagga) to unpack what it really took to open the doors, the two year lead up, the brutal first 18 months and the choices that built a loyal community and a strong team culture.
What you’ll take away:
-
Why “taken seriously” usually comes from consistency and decisions, not age.
-
What the early years actually cost: sleep, health, money and social pressure and what makes it worth it anyway.
-
The hiring lesson that protects everything: making a backup plan beats hiring the wrong person.
-
How to think about outsourcing when you hate admin and love the work you’re actually meant to be doing.
-
What success can look like when it’s based on workplace happiness and life outside work.
-
Why Rachel’s Instagram engagement works: community as a two way relationship, not constant selling.
