Often as business owners, our strategy is a one-to-one business model where we simply exchange our time for money.

As someone who just started a business on her own, she felt that she was working hard but not really getting anywhere. After consuming free content, she found herself more confused because she didn't know how they would apply to her. By getting a strategy and working with me, she found her niche, gained access to a community for growth opportunities and access to my connections.
