Summary

Is family front and center in your life? Do you dream of the day you can truly put family first while generating income and creating a lasting legacy? Would working alongside your loved ones, building together, be the icing on the cake? With all the uncertainty we are all currently facing, there’s no better time than now! Sabrina Rosenberg -- new owner/operator of A Childhood Store, a kid-focused company in its early stages of growth -- spent 15 years building other people’s businesses. Although a hefty salary, impressive awards for her accomplishments, and strong influence among staff members kept her going, the 16 hours a day, 7 days a week schedule left her missing out on what really mattered. In early 2020, enough was enough. She didn’t have a solid plan for what to do next, but was confident that her depth of experience in building systems and processes, utilizing her resources wisely, and digging deep to research, push forward, and problem solve would serve her well. In this episode, Sabrina tells us about the steps she took to join forces with her incredibly creative sister, who started a kid-focused product company several years prior. Its eco-friendly, sustainable offerings drew the attention of Whole Foods -- and Sabrina’s knack for building businesses was exactly what was needed to take the company to the next level. Sabrina provides us insight to a roadmap of steps she has taken, and that you can take as well, to start operating a side hustle like a real business. She shares incredibly valuable tips on entering into key distribution and wholesale channels. And best of all, she gives us some heartwarming inspiration about involving the entire family every step of the way. Make sure you listen all the way through to the end for Sabrina’s simple yet powerful 3 words of advice for anyone in the early stages of building a business. Follow this advice and it’s impossible to NOT make progress. Check her out, and subscribe to the BiggerPockets Business Podcast so you won’t miss our next show!
