In this episode, Audrey chats with Hell Yes Design Studio founder, Michelle Bablo about gathering the courage to start your business. Michelle talks about how she almost stumbled into starting her design studio.
“I didn’t have a set career path, I jumped around a lot but, in the end it served me well because I gained a lot of experience and tried my hand in a bunch of things. I was jumping around and saying yes to everything and that became the philosophy of my business.”
Audrey asks Michelle what she thinks is the key to having a thriving business.
“Working on your dream is so much like going to therapy, you learn so much about yourself. You test your limits, your abilities and, it’s hard. If you are happy, healthy, and vibrant that’ll be channeled into your business.”
