I learned from listening to a podcast that there is a real benefit and importance to niching in your business for setting yourself apart. Kaitlin Brophy (6:03)
I wanted to be able to be kind of a whole person in that I needed to have some type of outlet to express my creativity and my desires. But I also wanted to be that mom and I wanted to be a wife and I wanted to be able to go pick them up at preschool or do whatever I needed to do. Michele (9:35)
One of the things that was easy for me to translate into the businesses that I've created are those operations and procedures all the way back from building software. Michele (14:07)
