If you’re in the Success Phase of business - your business is stable, you’re making consistent revenue you and others depend on (from $50,000 to low six-figures) and you’ve built a team - this episode is for you.
Learn some expensive mistakes you could be making in your business, whether you’re a done-for-you service provider, a coach, or a course creator.
