It is a nonnegotiable” (22:49-22:55 | Lindsay)• “The truth is, I love having a small business.

So as much as I love the idea of being some huge company, at the same time I love being a small company and being able to make decisions myself.” (24:37-25:00 | Jessica)• “Listen to yourself and what it is that you want and what is right for your business. You can have a great brand and a great product that is very successful and provides for your family without running yourself into the ground.” (27:25-27:38 | Lindsay)• “The more people you can talk to and learn from their experiences will be so helpful in your journey.” (33:10-33:17 | Jessica)Connect with Jessica Mindell:Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/jessicasnaturalfoods/ where you can currently win a $100 gift card to Whole Foods PLUS some amazing products from Jessica!Find a store near you | http://www.jessicasnaturalfoods.comCheck out the Dear FoundHer...
