Welcome to Bite Hard - The podcast for the girls who feel everything deeply. 

Episode 5: We Started a Business with No Money, a Newborn & No Plan

Everyone loves talking about successful businesses.

Very few people talk about what it looks like at the beginning.

The sleepless nights.
 The self-doubt.
 The bank account that makes your stomach drop.
 The clients who say no.
 The moments where you wonder if you've made the biggest mistake of your life.

In this episode, I'm taking you right back to where yours.haus began.

Just one month after our son Paxton was born, Jack lost his job. We had rent to pay, two little kids, Christmas bills piling up, and no idea what came next.

Instead of searching for another "safe" option, we decided to bet on ourselves.

That's how yours.haus was born.

I take you behind the scenes of everything - how we came up with the name, built our website ourselves, landed our first clients, priced our services, handled rejection, balanced running a business with a newborn and toddler, and what it's really like building something from scratch when failure doesn't feel like an option.

This isn't a "how to get rich" episode.

It's an honest conversation about taking risks, backing yourself when nobody else can do it for you, and building something before you feel ready.

If you've ever dreamed about starting a business, changing careers, chasing an idea, or simply taking a leap you've been too scared to take…

I hope this episode gives you the little push you've been waiting for.

In this episode we talk about:

  •  Starting a business after redundancy 
  •  Building yours.haus from scratch 
  •  Starting with little money 
  •  Finding your first clients 
  •  Pricing your services 
  •  Dealing with rejection 
  •  Running a business with a newborn and toddler 
  •  Balancing parenthood and entrepreneurship 
  •  Why perfect timing doesn't exist 
  •  The reality of building something from nothing 

Sometimes the scariest season of your life ends up becoming the one you're most proud of.
