030 | Christine McDannell Explains Why Having Legal Support Will Keep Your Business Afloat

Christine McDannell is the passionate Founder of Eco Chateau Wellness Spa, San Diego's #1 rated Wellness Spa with two locations. She is a serial entrepreneur who has already owned and ran seven different companies in the past 14 years, including two six-figure exits. Her newest ventures are The Luxe Car Collective and Kindred Quarters. Aside from business, she is a car enthusiast, and loves racing motorcycles, running marathons, and traveling the world.

Christine clearly has an extensive background as an entrepreneur. She’s started and sold many companies, and she takes the time to tell us all about the many NO’s she received.  

So often entrepreneurs look at each NO as a failure, but Christine doesn’t waste her time thinking that way. Instead she believes that there is a YES to be found in every NO, you just need to find the way there.

Christine shares some of her biggest NO’s, like having to deal with a huge two year lawsuit that she couldn’t talk with anyone about. She had to keep her upbeat, positive nature even on the toughest days. The reason she was so successful in doing this is because she had great support in her lawyers and business insurance.

In this episode not only does Christine share why having a positive outlook is so important in business, but she also shares why having great business insurance and supportive lawyers is so important.
