If you are anything like me, I have a default setting of FFWD and STOP. I am told this is very common with business owners and entrepreneurs.

I have never done live interviews or webinars before but that was what was the plan for my new course launches. I didn’t want to let fear stop me from doing this. The prophet Nike couldn’t have said it better. JUST DO IT. So amidst the trepidation and questions about whether I COULD…

I had a chat with a business friend of mine, Owen, who is running a very successful business called Merlin https://www.merlinsoft.co.uk/.
