Have you ever heard the phrase, “Your network is your net worth”? It is a saying that took a long time for me to truly understand. I don’t know if it was because I have always been a natural networker or if I hadn’t stuck in the same industry for more than a few years […]

It’s amazing how many entrepreneurs I talk with that are either scared of sales or have a hatred for it. A lot of the fear I see comes from two main sources. The first cause is talking to strangers mixed with imposter syndrome. In my opinion, fixing this is just a matter of practice and […]
