In this episode of Making It, Cait talks about the importance of disconnecting, following your inner guidance and why some ideas are better in theory than practice.
“I think that entrepreneurs often get stuck on ‘Oh, I've got to do this thing…,’ and they don't learn to let the pieces go when they're not working.”

What is Making It: How to Be a Successful Online Entrepreneur?
For most aspiring online entrepreneurs, “making it” means achieving success in your business. But what exactly is business success anyway? And how do outwardly successful online entrepreneurs define "making it"? Here at Mirasee FM, we wanted to find out, so we asked a group of diverse online business owners what success means to them. Their answers and insights surprised, moved, and inspired us. In this podcast, accomplished online entrepreneurs discuss what making it means to them, provide tips for online business success, and share important lessons on business and life that they have learned along the way.
