Everyone makes mistakes from time to time, it's part of being human. But what happens when you're self employed and there's no one to take the blame but you? Bo and Amy talk through some of the mistakes they've made in their professional lives and most importantly, what they learned from their mistakes. In this episode: • Bo and Amy discuss the kind of mistakes, as Bo says, you only ever make once! • Bo talks through the lessons she's learned from forgetting essential equipment, ahem, like an SD card! • She's also learned the hard way how to to refine the scope of a project. • Amy recounts her experiences working in toxic office environments and how she's had to learn better boundaries around work to avoid burnout. • Bo discusses some of the most financially costly mistakes she's made in her business. • Amy also shares a very embarrassing story of making a typo error on the cover page of a printed brochure! Yikes! • Bo and Amy share the advice they would give to their younger selves. • Amy has finally submitted her maternity leave application, hooray! • Bo has a new range of limited edition prints available. • Bo and Amy share their favourite follows on Instagram.
