I’m in the process of updating this course with new updates and content, so because of that I’m offering a half off code until the end of April 2021, so if you’re reading/ listening in April 2021, go the the link, use code april50 and instead of paying $97, you’ll save almost $50, plus that gets you lifetime access, so everyone I create new course content you will have access.

Perfect quick hit of advice

I love this podcast. It's short sweet and savvy. Can't lie I'm a bit of a podcast junkie. I love how to the point the social launch is.

What??

The announcer volume is perfect. Then the volume goes way down when host starts. Would love to hear but even with my volume all the way up I can’t hear? I have 30% hearing and I can hear other podcasts shows fine.

NicteC ,

Great tips for busy business owners!!

I loved listening to Leslie's tips! Her podcast is packed with quick actionable insight that is easy to digest. Listening to hour long podcasts often means you get side tracked... Leslie's podcast is the PERFECT fit for business owners that juggle many hats!!!
