How can you make your BIG dreams happen on a SMALL budget? After wrapping up the 2024 Powerhouse Women Event and coming out of that incredible weekend feeling re-energized, inspired, and truly expanded, I wanted to revisit a past episode where I brought on two of my close girlfriends to share our perspectives on bootstrapping our businesses to 6-figures and beyond.
