In this episode, I talk to small business owner Sarah Latham who I met back in 2019 when she looking to transition her natural dog treat business from a Facebook Page to a website.
She talks about the process of setting up and growing her business over the past 18 months and what it has taken for her to do that.
I met Sarah just at the point she had decided to build her website and we talk about why she decided on WordPress as opposed to any other platform.
I also find out how she managed to grow her business whilst holding down a full-time job and what process she had to go through to decide to leave that world behind.
If you have been thinking about how to grow a passion business, like Sarah has (she has 6 dogs!) then this podcast will provide the inspiration that you need.
