“Business and entrepreneurship is just about testing; you know, we’re all out there trying to figure it out and it takes a significant amount of trial and error, and even more for some than others.”

In this episode, Dana Shares:
- “When my son was born, I felt massive amounts of guilt because I would absolutely love our time together. And then I wanted him to take a nap because I wanted to work on my branding and my website and figure out what I was doing and how I was going to make money.”
- “One of the things as you make more money is that you’ll see people shift from trading time for money. Right to give up money for time.”
- “I made what I was doing just as much about a movement as I did about a business, So the movement of Boss Mom was about shedding this guilt and embodying the dreams that we have so that we can show our children and the next generation that it’s not about sacrificing ourselves for our children. It’s about living a good life.”
- “I went and made it a goal to get featured on a podcast every single week for an entire year. Three years later, I had done it. I’ve been on hundreds of podcasts. You google my name, you are ten pages deep.”
- “The biggest thing about getting over fear is don’t look at it as I put it out into the world and it’s pass or fail, right? You look at it as a test, and when you’re out testing things, the goal isn’t for it to succeed. The goal is to know.”
