Business Besties and Books Teri Houghton and Pamela Grice

On this episode Pam and Teri talk about using the muscle called resilience. We both believe it is something you have to work out especially as an entrepreneur. It seems like just when you hit one summit in work there is another one out there and it takes a certain mindset to keep climbing. We totally believe that this a muscle that can be created as we go through peaks and valleys of life and business!

So do you think you were born with resilience or is it a muscle you have grown!

On this episode Pam and Teri talk about building a community with the lens of being a single entrepreneur.  It can be challenging at times and how do we handle a community once life shifts again?  Which it always does 😊.  They talk through some of their favorite communities of their pasts and how they have helped them grow.  We so need community in this world and as people who tend to work from home it has become even more of a necessity.  This talk goes down some paths they didn't see coming..as do all good conversations.
