The Mind Your Business Podcast

Today's episode is a special case study where I welcome back my little sister, Jill! You may remember that last year I interviewed Jill on the podcast and at that time she shared about her first 10 months of business after joining my signature program, Business By Design. Her story got so much positive feedback that I wanted her to come back to give an update on what's happened since that episode aired, which you'll hear today! If you're inspired by what Jill has accomplished (so far!) as a busy mom of two kids under the age of 8, you'll want to check out Business By Design, which is coming June 1st!
