Episode 37: Turn your dream into an ACTUAL horse business!!

For most people, the thought of taking a dream and turning it into reality is too much to take. They think that in order for them to make their dream business happen, that they need to know EVERYTHING there is about that career and have it aced down to perfection.
 
Or… they feel like they won't be able to get started because there isn't someone beside them with a helping hand guiding them through each step.
 
Well..
We’re here today to tell you that…
You need to begin putting one foot in front of the other and start your journey into taking your dream and making it a reality. You don't have to know everything there is about a horse business, you just need to START!
Instead of waiting around for years, trying to plan everything out in your head and falling victim to the paralysis by analysis syndrome - what if you just started making small steps each week while having someone that holds your hand along the way?
