Building a business is a huge personal investment - needing time, energy and money - but the payoff can be way higher than the stock market. It seems more young Aussies are taking note, with many adding "entrepreneur" to their resume. But what does it really take to create a successful and inspiring business? We want to shine a light on the incredible women who have done just that. In this series we ask these trailblazers to share their stories, as we hope to learn from the challenges they faced and the lessons they've taken away. So, let's get inspired and start building our own paths to success! Today we chat with the bright and bubbly Zara Seilder about the journey of building The Daily Aus. Zara's been part of developing TDA from an small Instagram following of 150 followers into a media community of millions. Her chat gives us lessons in sustainable growth, raising capital as a female, and the importance of keeping boundaries between your personal brand and a business.
