Hi! My name’s Charlie and I’m new to this forum and new to starting my own business. I’m 37, married with no kids. I can’t talk to my husband about my dream to leave my govt 9-5 because he has the slow lane mentality. So I’m trying to find my people. I am working on my first book and have a podcast in the same niche. I’m excited to be here and learn from others who have way more experience and knowledge than I do. Would love to connect!
