​Starting up a small business, no matter what town or city it's in, is tough. We've been no strangers to experiencing this since we opened in January 2018. Starting anything from scratch is challenging, and we certainly knew that going in. The confidence to begin takes serious guts, and the drive to commit takes everything you have and then anything else you can muster up. There is perpetual physical and mental labor, constant brainstorming, endless evaluation, overwhelming floods of ideas, and several sleepless nights of worry and doubt.

​But for some, the reward of being an entrepreneur is far beyond that of any corporate job title or long-awaited promotion. That's not to say being an employee isn't fulfilling...it's just not us.
