We're taking a trip back to February 2021, when I was celebrating five years on this wild business ride!
I'm about to spill the beans on the 8 pieces of advice that, honestly, I'm pretty glad I didn't just nod along to. And it's all up to you, really – whether you want to take these and run with them.
Here’s a quick rundown of the episode…

• [00:05] This episode is from the Archives as I used to have a different podcast with a different name.
• [00:38] Even this was recorded in February of 2021, when I celebrated 5 years in business, this is still packed with so much value that you’ll enjoy listening.
