Hey there, listener.
In this week’s solocast we’re tackling the to-do list. Specifically, what is on your list just to do and what is there to make a real difference in your business?
How many courses or workshops have we taken without implementing? How many self-help books have we read without helping? How many storage bins have we purchased without doing any organizing?
This podcast discusses the difference between action instead of just motion. As small business owners we’re always moving. But do our motions move us forward?
