Episode Highlights:
09:11 - I surround myself with people who are doing really well in business and I learned from them. That's what I didn't do and the mistake that I made the first two times was I didn't surround myself with a community of people that were supportive and understood what it's like to be an entrepreneur. I didn't get the help that I needed. I didn't invest in myself, and now I do.
17:54 - Things that you can delegate to people, delegate. And I know people have tight budgets. That's why I say hire your teenage kids, if you have kids that you can hire, but also look into hiring a VA. There are a lot of VAs that are overseas that you could hire to do some of these personal touches for you, even if it's send an email directly to a person and not a mass email.
23:58 - It makes it easier for me to help a larger amount of people because I see there are so many people who have just not even thought about their customer experience, and you're also going to find out how to build your customer journey from the very beginning, where they find out about your business to the time they purchase from you and beyond. That whole customer journey, I'm going to teach you how to build it out and how to plan it.
