See Lee's Takeaways from the interview below -

1. Mills’ career journey started with an internship at IHG, a time when she was uncertain about her professional path. However, her internship experiences served as a compass, guiding her away from the corporate world and towards her true passion-entrepreneurship. This realization underscores the importance of understanding what one doesn’t want to do, as it can lead to the discovery of one’s true calling.

2. Additionally, Mills’ career path reflects a personal journey of success and discovering her true interests. Her business venture with her mother reflects how personal relationships and professional ambitions can intertwine to create new entrepreneurial opportunities.

3. Moreover, Mills openly discusses the challenges she encountered in the early stages of their business, particularly with staffing and quality control. Their initial business model, which involved a simple client-service provider matching system, led to quality issues. This candid conversation about the realities of entrepreneurship serves as a valuable lesson, helping listeners understand the potential hurdles they may face and the importance of adapting their strategies.

4. Throughout the narrative, the strong partnership with her mother is a recurring theme. Mills describes how she moved back to her mother’s basement to reduce expenses, highlighting the practical and emotional support crucial for early-stage entrepreneurs. This dynamic also illustrates how family relationships can provide a foundation for business development and resilience.

5. Looking ahead, Mills envisions Sourced. becoming a household name and a significant player in the business service industry. Their strategy shift towards growth through acquisitions reflects a maturation in their business approach, aiming to expand capabilities and reach through strategic partnerships and mergers.
