EOFire customers

- You need to do things that DO NOT SCALE. Mainly speaking with a lot of your customers. That’s the only way to understand who your perfect customer is
Biggest failure with a customer
- Kate takes us back to her days as account manager in marketing and advertising agency, standing between the agency and a very angry customer. This case actually helped her understand this wasn’t the place she wanted to be in, and therefore joined John Lee Dumas at EOFire.

The Freedom Journal community is a platform for likeminded people that come together, help support one another provide feedback to one another and help each other accomplish their goal.
