“If I could make $5,000 a month and get out of debt”… That’s what she said to me when we started working together seven years ago… It didn’t take us long to completely revamp her business. She went from traveling all the time, making very little money to staying at home and making over $250,000.00…
The first time I talked to somebody about strategic growth in their business, they looked at me like I had three heads and said, “What is that?”. That was probably 20 years ago now. I’m still talking about strategic growth with my clients and to people who attend my events or who hear me speak….
