Launching a brand of your own is a huge career step. A step many are reluctant to take on their own. Many wish they could have a business partner by their side who knows them better than anyone else, who could practically read their mind. That’s what makes these businesses so successful! Run by mother-daughter duos, these businesses are powerhouses because of their connection, communication, and dedication.
