Tune in with Tem to find out what they are and how you can avoid making them. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Follow this podcast! Don’t miss out on free, high quality advice.Not being clear about expectations. Set and refine these throughout the year. Reinforce them every lesson. Being inconsistent with discipline.
