## Resource

Two years ago, Steph never imagined she would own a business. Like many people, she thought business meant stress, staff, overheads, debt, and a huge amount of risk. But after learning from Matt and Liz Raad, she discovered a very different way to start. An online business that could be built from home, with no staff, no physical inventory, and no massive upfront investment. In this episode, Matt and Steph talk about how online businesses are changing what it means to become a business owner in 2026. They discuss why beginners should start small, why digital skills are becoming more valuable, how AI can make running an online business easier, and why a simple online business can give you more freedom and flexibility than a traditional job. You’ll also hear Steph reflect on how building her own business changed her mindset, gave her more optimism about the future, and helped her escape the rat race. If you’ve ever thought starting a business was too hard, too risky, or only for other people, this episode will show you a simpler way to begin.
