Welcome to this new podcast interview show for future womenpreneurs! The focus of this podcast is to learn from women who are serving others in their own business from home. We will get the backstory and hear about how they got started and the journey that brought them to where they are today.
Victoria Gazeley is our special guest on the show today. I met her online a few years ago and now I’m really excited to have this chance to learn more about her. Victoria does graphic design work and specializes in WordPress websites. She shares how she made a big move from living in the city with a corporate job to living in a cabin in the country and starting her own business. Victoria also has a homesteading website to help others who want to make this transition as well. Working in the country has come with a unique set of challenges related to technology and wildlife. You won’t believe the stories she has to share about that! Hopefully this interview will inspire you to move forward in your own business regardless of the challenges you’ll have to overcome.
