In this Entrepreneur Rescue Mission podcast episode, Charlese and I discuss entrepreneurs' financial challenges. We share many personal experiences. Despite the difficulties, we emphasize the importance of staying focused on one's goals and not being ashamed of taking on part-time work to support business growth. We encourage you to remember the "why" and to remind you that financial hardships are not the end of the entrepreneurial journey!
