    How Owning A Sewing Business Changed My Life

    5% of employees in the US are millionaires.. and 88% of millionaires are business owners. Success leaves clues, wouldn't you say?

    This summer, my primary business, Music City Sewing, will turn eight. Eight years of running a small service-based sewing business that on the surface looks super shiny & glittery, peppered with Getty images and exciting opportunities, but when it comes down to it, it’s a blue collar business. It’s alterations, it’s softgoods and merch… it’s just your typical business on Main Street.

    But it's changed my life, in a way that I could only pray more people get to experience if they have an idea that's bursting at the seams.
