Then you sign your life away never truly understanding their "Why? Your why is super important when you start working on building your brand. Your WHY should be in your heart and on your mind at all times. I tend to be reminded of my why, my Daughter - AKA Pooh Bear daily. Thinking of her keeps me going.
