Recently I had a Financial Coaching Session with a client and… Read more
Business owners can’t handle the truth. Or can you? Sometimes running a business can be like dodging landmines. You go forth and try and grow and build your brand and tribe….but you are not sure which direction you really need to take. You know there are hazards out there….but instead of getting help along the way you want to try your luck. So you tiptoe forward, sometimes backwards or sideways… Read more
