You're an entrepreneur and the owner of a small business. You expected things to be hard when starting out, but when does it get easier? SPOILER ALERT: It doesn't!

Comfort is hard to find when owning a business because the variables are always changing. But that doesn't mean you can't replace the uncomfortable with something else. Pat shares what that something else is and how you can achieve it for your own small business.

Also on this episode:

• Trade shows / Branding / SWAG - You've probably heard that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. In the business world a first impression is often made by getting your SWAG into the right hands. Caitlin Penny, Founder and Brand Specialist of Copper Theory Creative is here to tell us what SWAG or promotional items to buy and which ones are played out!
• Emotions / Small Business Lifestyle - We're talking emotions with Krista Morrissey, Chief Growth Officer for Choices Coaches and Consulting. This topic has nothing to do with measuring KPIs and everything to do with feeding our success.
• AI Challenge Week - Inside the Idea Collective Small Business Incubator we're taking an entire week and addressing AI head-on! As business owners saving time and money is a necessity, and AI can help with both of those. When it comes to AI, what is hype? What isn't? And why should you care?
