Grind. Hustle. Hard work.
All of these buzzwords can be found in the entrepreneurial realm because they are viewed as provocative and "sexy", but do we really understand what hard work really looks like? If there was an option to put a person's name in Webster's Dictionary for any of these words, you would find Ashleigh Bratek's name written.
Ashleigh Bratek has been in the restaurant world for over 15 years, serving in management at Cracker Barrel and is now, currently, a General Manager at Chick-fil-A in Greenville, SC. In this episode, Ashleigh shares her story of how she reaped the benefits of hard work early in her career, but also how God has transformed her mindset & priorities, which opened doors she didn't think were possible. Not only does she work full-time, she has started a "side hustle": an Etsy shop called The Christian Peach Co. Faith-based jewelry & hats is the name of the game and she is thriving, to say the least. Ashleigh is a jack of all trades, and you can learn a lot from her story. Check out this conversation!
