BOW 66: Rachel and Laura: Reinventing “Leverage” As You Reinvent Your Business

The Business of Writing Podcast

In This Episode:

Today we are talking about change, and what to do when you come to a crossroads in your business. Whether you’ve realized you don’t want to work with clients anymore, or you’ve been working on a goal you accidentally picked up someone else, there are plenty of moments in our businesses that force us to stop, really dig into what we want and need, and adjust course.
