Have you ever had the feeling that you are just bouncing off like a ball trying to get your business established? Our guest today surely has. Starting a business is a challenge, and even more so when you have very limited knowledge on the business side of things, add to it keeping a day job, offering an instructional coaching and working with schools at the same time. Our guest today is torn, for the last three years, between marketing her business or staying focused on her clients that will eventually enable her to reach the ultimate goal. In today’s session, we are going to walk Trish through a process on how she can, little by little, create that shift towards the goal. We’d give her enough pointers to help get herself established, as what I have done in mine when I was just starting.
