Not quite…Instagram can make it seem like anyone can wake up and start a killer business in one day, but that ain’t true. Well, maybe you CAN, but it’s not a smart plan. Host Corri McFadden is an industry vet and has seen one too many businesses end up failing because they didn’t start strong bones of a business.

She’s even sharing an awesome exercise that you can do TODAY that will help you budget for your biz - and set your own salary (in a practical sense).You’re probably a little freaked out - it’s OK. You should be. It’s a lot. But consider this your definitive guide to getting started. Grab those headphones, that coffee (or tequila)...and let’s start building that biz.[01:22] - So you've decided to go into business, now what?![04:42] - Figuring out your own salary[13:36] - How to find an accountant[19:06] - How to get a payroll company set up[20:52] - How to classify your business[28:13] - Why insurance is the most important bill you'll pay every month[32:44] - Corri McFadden email[32:50] - Corri McFadden Instagram[32:54] - Glitter and BubblesPS since some of the stuff we’re covering today is pretty technical and overwhelming, I wrote a whole blog post that will be super helpful afterward.

You know those messy topics we all deal with but no one really talks about? The struggles and the tragedies and the WTF situations that eventually help us grow but really can take you down in the moment? The stories without a pretty Instagram filter. The real-life situations that SO many of us face yet we don’t hear about - or at least how the hell to deal with them. And more importantly, what you can TAKE from each of those situations.Because let’s be honest, life can be messed up. Like really messed up. Yes it can be cool and beautiful and amazing, but it can also tear you down until you’re wailing into your steering wheel after work or sobbing solo in your bathroom as your kids pound at the door.Been both of those places, actually! Have you?Life can make you feel lonely, confused, pissed off, lost, and a whole lot of other things that don’t feel that great. But behind all those difficult times are stories. Stories that we all have but ones that buried deep within us in this filtered culture we’re all living in.Well guys, I’m here to uncover those stories and bring them to light.So who am I?

I’m here to go deep and get REAL because I truly think we all need these discussions in our life. Don’t YOU? Bottom line, this show will be USEFUL. It’ll be a toolkit for surviving what life throws at ya. It’ll be a place to escape when it feels like you ain’t got a clue what to do next. Oh and it’ll also be uncensored in many ways. Including my love for a good curse word. Mama’s, if you have kids in the car, you might want to listen to this later. We’ll kick things off with a 10 episode deep dive into starting and owning your business. For 15 years I ran a self funded multi-million dollar business with over 30 employees at any given time! We will be tacking topics in a useful and relatable way that I wish would have been accessible to me on my journey. We’ll talk about distinguishing a business from a hobby, what you need to actually do after you decide to go into business, hiring your first employee, getting into bed with your landlord, terminations and more! It’s going to be REALLY good and some might even say life changing, bold statement Yes but I know what I’m about to put out into the universe and it’s exactly what some of you need. Oh! And because I do actually want to hear from you, let me shoutout some info real quick. If you have feedback, questions, or suggestions, I’m all ears. Just don't be an internet troll, deal?
