Today's episode is a look back at how I created my first $1 million dollar year in business, and we're doing something a bit different today as returning guest Jennifer Finley is interviewing me! I reveal what it was really like for me during that time, where I struggled the most and why I was stuck for so long, plus the shifts I made to get to that next level and hit 7-figures in revenue. We hope you get value from the lessons I've learned on my journey as an entrepreneur, and that you can apply some of what we talk about today to your own life and business!
