It's Time to Go From Business Ownership to Entrepreneurship
with Yvonne Weld
Is your business dependant on you making ALL the decisions?
Does your phone ring off the hook when you take a day off, or, go on a vacation?
When you are not at work, does your business keep you awake at night?
If you're like most business owners, you may be challenged to answer those questions with anything other than a sobbing, "YES!" But there is help.
🛎 In this episode
Business strategist, Yvonne Weld will talk about how business owners can stop trading time for money, find a better work/life balance and build a healthier cashflow AND have a secure crisis management plan.
