What would I say to them if they wanted to be coached? It was through this internal hypothetical conversation that I came up with the top ten lessons I would share with them, and thus with you, from my multiple million dollar companies and years of experience in the entrepreneurship space. That’s why episode 146 of Becoming Iconic is about each of them, and future episodes will expand upon these ten lessons as well! In this episode of Becoming Iconic, I’m sharing the important lessons I have learned in the last years as a serial entrepreneur and multiple 7-figure business owner.
