The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss Tara McMullin: Where Are They Now
Tara McMullin (formerly Gentile) is back for our very first Where Are They Now episode. Tara’s the founder & host of What Works. She’s been connecting small business owners through mastermind groups and online community for over a decade. Whether on the podcast or in the online network, her goal is to facilitate the free flow of ideas, information, and inspiration between entrepreneurs.
She believes that no one person has the answer to “what works” in small business–but that, together, we can create a living, breathing knowledge-base of real-world solutions to all of our small business challenges.
“We use different levels of service. They’re operational levels as opposed to a pricing, marketing, or customer levels. I'm not building a business model to help people move from one level to another. I'm providing three different service options for them.” – Tara McMullin
