From the Ground Up Get Inspired by Marsha Marsh's Story

Description:

There’s a lot of freedom that comes with starting a small business. You can set your own hours and be your own boss. Marsha Marsh took the leap after finding herself in a job that restricted her from being there for her family as much as she wanted. She left that job and started her own real estate company. She and her son Laban Marsh join The CoLab hosts Megan Marsh and Andres Munar in this episode to share the story behind establishing Marsha Marsh Real Estate Services from the ground up!

Show Notes:

Freedom. It’s a driving force behind the decision to start a business for many people. It’s the reward for taking a leap of faith and trying something new. There’s no one right way to start a business and there’s no right time to do so either. When Marsha Marsh’s job didn’t afford her the flexibility she wanted nearly 15 years ago, she made a leap of her own into real estate and hasn’t looked back. So what does it take to start and run a successful family business from the ground up? Marsha and her son Laban share their story and reflect on their business journey with The CoLab.
