I built my business for my customer (and they
filled the gaps of my inexperience).
I built my business for me.
I had little experience in my industry and I
seldom struggle.
I had a lot of experience in my industry and I
often struggled.
My business chose me because I was inspired
by ‘MY WHY’!
I chose my business because of my circumstances.
My business started me.I started my business.
