The Thriving Solopreneur - with Janine Bolon

Suzanne Tregenza Moore knows all-to-well how living the entrepreneurial roller coaster feels. She's committed to stop women from playing Whack-a-Mole with To-Do lists while instead focusing on bringing revenue into their businesses using strategy, marketing, technology, delegation, and mindset. Her clients describe her as “invaluable,” a “gentle butt-kicker,” and say she's helped them to “unleash their vision.” A Jersey girl, born and bred, Suzanne and her husband Kevin now call the South Shore of Massachusetts home with their two sons and mini-labradoodle daughter named Lily. Hang on Tight! is her first book.
