I’ve been hesitating to record this episode because I don’t typically open up to people about my struggles in life. I don’t want people to hear my hardships and feel bad for me.

They may be taking on more hours to make up for their poor leads and skimpy sales. My goodness! What a shame! Their problem most likely isn’t their product, their service, or even their customer support. They probably have a functioning website and social media presence. So what could it be?
