#366: When Fear Feeds on the Unknown

Starting a flower business comes with its fair share of jitters — and most new growers face the same three big fears: Are my flowers good enough? Will I have enough to sell? How much should I charge?

In this episode, Lisa shares her own early experiences as a new grower and the simple habits that transformed anxiety into steady progress. Whether you’re in your first season or thinking about taking the leap, this conversation is packed with real-world strategies to help you quiet the doubts and find your footing.
