Building Big & Living Real

In this episode, Tiffany-Ann Bottcher pulls back the curtain for new and longtime listeners of the Service-Based Business Society podcast. After more than 100 episodes, she reintroduces herself, her journey from scaling a $12M corporate business to building multiple companies under the Bottcher Group umbrella, and the reality of balancing entrepreneurship with a full family life.

Tiffany shares candid insights on why she created this podcast, the evolution of its mission, and how the business landscape—and her own priorities—have shifted through the seasons. From embracing imperfect action (like launching TaxGo mid-season) to navigating the infamous “valley of death” in business growth, she offers an unfiltered look at what it takes to build something meaningful. Whether you’re a first-time listener or a loyal fan, this episode is an invitation to dream bigger, push harder, and build a business that aligns with your life—messy schedules, late-night work sessions, and all.
