219: How Your Goals & Support Needs Evolve with Your Business with Whitney Vredenburgh
Have you ever thought, “Once X happens, everything will fall into place in my business?” Not to be the bearer of “bad news” or rain on parades, but businesses are always evolving and with that evolution comes new challenges to replace the old ones. But like my guest Whitney Vredenburgh says, that’s not a bad thing.
New challenges represent pathways to help you grow and scale your business and evolve as a business owner and CEO.
