Episode description
Get ready for one of the most emotional and inspiring episodes we've ever recorded! 🥺💪
Paige Thompson's story isn't just about business growth - it's about honoring a mentor's legacy, finding strength in the darkest moments, and proving that sometimes losing everything is exactly what you need to build something extraordinary!
When Paige’s mentor, Terry revealed she was battling terminal cancer, she had a choice: play it safe and work for someone else, or risk everything to honor what Terry had taught her. She chose courage.
This raw, honest conversation covers:
🎯 The leadership lessons that transformed Paige from employee to confident CEO
🎯 Why requiring certifications for EVERY team member (yes, even reception!) sets you apart
🎯 The financial reality of going from $9/day daycare to premium pricing (and keeping your clients!)
🎯 Building systems and structure when you're "learning on the fly"
If you've ever felt alone in your business struggles, questioned whether you should keep going, or wondered if investing in yourself is worth it, this episode will remind you that transformation is always possible - even when it feels impossible!
