Revenue is the easy part. But what’s the real cost of building a business? Danielle Leslie made $25 million, built a full team, and was keynoting eight-figure CEO panels. But she was also borrowing from personal savings to keep the lights on, carrying six figures in business debt, and working 60-hour weeks on a company she'd completely fallen out of love with.
In this discussion she grapples with the team she had to let go and the divorce she was buried under. Which amounted to the moment she realized the whole machine was running just to fund itself with nothing left over. Tara sits down with Danielle Leslie to get the truth about what it actually takes and costs to build a business from scratch.
