Here’s a fun pic that captures what I love about these two mission-driven entrepreneurs.

They are serious about their mission but they also know how to play and keep things in perspective. 🕺🏻✨

They are getting to be quite the buddies.

Like peas & carrots or bacon & eggs 🥓🍳

They just go together.

A BIG shout out to the best dog mom in the whole world who does all the middle of the night potty adventures to the back yard, puppy training, puppy daycare shuttle runs, daily walks to wear them out. 🙌🙏🐾.

With so much uncertainty happening in the world, I thought we could all use a dose of real talk about the good things that are happening... especially for entrepreneurs!
.
I'm creating a mini-series that will highlight some of my favorite business builders who are making the best of their situation - whether that’s adjusting their messaging, getting more specialized, making a business model pivot, or simplifying and streamlining their business - and you’ll have a front row seat to hear how they are embracing this really unique time in our history and making the absolute best of it.
.
My first guest is Kenneth Marshall and we'll be breaking down the following...
.
🔹 How to grow your business, even if you're gripped with perfectionism
.
🔹 Gaining clarity on who you're best suited to serve
.
🔹 Raising your rates (during a pandemic)
.
🔹 How to move into a Visionary role and delegate intentionally
.
🔹 Growing a team
.
🔹 Being highly selective with your clients
.
🔹 Setting your business up to run without you
.
🔹 How coaching can play a big role in achieving your most important goals
.
I hope you enjoy the first in this series of discussions that focus on real people and businesses that are learning how to grow and thrive during a time of uncertainty.
