Since starting our company, we’ve had some really interesting conversations about the vast difference between how men and women do things in the business space. Most female business owners we know (including ourselves), for example, actively work on their money mindset, struggle to trust their decisions, and have perfectionist tendencies… …While the startup DudebrosTM of the world sail through business (and life) like it was made for them.

It’s easy to keep your clients happy when you're starting out and your audience is small. However, as your business grows, it gets trickier.
