<p>In this highlight, Samara and Jen chat with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sherri_timely/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sherri</a>, who leads ANZ partnerships for Timely.</p><p>They talk about why many solo businesses shut down within 18 months…and how you can stop that from happening to you. They share easy tips to help your business stay strong and explain what it really costs to work for yourself…beyond just time and money.</p><p>They also talk about how hard it can be to do everything on your own. If you wait until you’re burnt out, it might be too late.
