What It's About
A young couple learns an important lesson as they launch their out of normal business.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1903
I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success, if not more. It’s with this principle in mind that I offer you a weekly segment called Failure Friday: a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure. Just like our Throwback Thursday segment, you’ll hear directly from side hustlers who have struggled to get something off the ground. They’ll tell you a short story of something that went very wrong. The stories will vary, but often it starts with an idea, what they thought would happen and what really happened—and of course, what they learned. Today’s short story features Brittain Kovac and Josh Schukman. We told the successful story of their project on Episode #1751: Nomadic Couple Starts Vintage Camper Rental Biz. Here they return to talk about a couple of difficult parts along the way, including some advice that I really think a lot of people should pay attention to when they’re thinking about following a dream. Nothing wrong with following dreams! But your dream will have the best odds of success (i.e. coming true!) if you’re willing to get into some nuts and bolts of it. Brittain and Josh will tell us more. Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
