The "Fun business trip" that wasn't - Beach house airbnb update, lessons learned
Vacation rentals as a side hustle is not always rainbows and butterflies, and in this video I share some disappointment I had recently on a trip to try to update our beach house. All in all, I still feel really fortunate to have this opportunity to learn and to not have this be my main income during this learning phase (can you imagine the stress??!!). Let's normalize having bad days, and normalize going on the internet not only to brag but to also share the missteps.
