Friends, what an honor to share with all of you, that my podcast has reached 100,000 thousand unique downloads!
Reaching this goal was literally possible thanks to you! Without your support and (literally) the fact that you listen to this show, this would have been impossible!
So to keep things consistent with what I have been doing since the beginning of this show, in today’s episode I want to share with you 5 lessons I have learned from reaching this goal, and how you can apply my learnings to your own business!
And to celebrate with all of you this week (October 25th, 2021 through October 29, 2021) I’m giving away 3 spots on The Art Of Pinning Class. To participate, just leave me a review on iTunes! Easy breezy. If you are outside of the US, make sure that you send me a screenshot of the review as I don’t get notifications for international reviews.
And if you already left me a review, then you can share it on your IG stories! Make sure you tag me on it so I can add you to the list!
Thank you so much for being a part of this community, you guys are the best!
