The support is critical and because we are the &#039;boss&#039; it can be pretty isolating at times if we don&#039;t find our people]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I totally agree Kevin that some of lifes and business challenges make our future business stronger.

Over my 15 years in business, whilst there&#039;s been many downs, I wouldn&#039;t be doing what I&#039;m doing now (and loving my business more than ever), without them. I think it&#039;s how we deal with the challenges we face that make us more resilient as business owners.

And yes, the right support around you is crucial so you have a place to  shout &#038; scream, or simply share and celebrate. All are equally important.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Running your own business is certainly not a bed of roses, but once you&#039;ve got the taste for it, there is no going back. I&#039;m not surprised you&#039;ve been your own boss for 16 years, Kevin, and even though this may not sound very nice, but having that ruptured appendix was probably a good thing in the long run.]]></description>

Hi Sashka, thank you so much for the comment, 16 years and it&#039;s flown by and I&#039;m more excited by business than ever before. We aren&#039;t alone on this path and if you ever feel that way you need to find your people they are definitely out there, it&#039;s much more fun together than alone :-)]]></description>
