Have you ever found yourself wondering if you have what it takes to step into that next level of leadership in your business, especially when it comes to growing your community and team while raising a family? If you want a real and honest conversation about the behind the scenes of entrepreneurship, this episode is for you.

You’re listening to episode 119 of the Lead with Love podcast and in today’s conversation, I get cozy with my dear friend and fellow community builder, Jill Stanton.

Jill is the co-founder of Screw The Nine To Five—her and her husband, Josh’s slice of the internet where they help entrepreneurs build more attention to their brands, make more money in their business and get more out of their life through simple strategies, how to’s and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the realities of building a business online.

“Giving yourself the permission to just learn as you go and make the judgment call for you at that time, that gives me so much peace.”

– JILL STANTON
