Stop Prevaricating and Build a Powerful and Realistic Business
This is basically the thrust of these excellent podcasts by Shane and Hanna. Practical, constructive and fun to listen to. Lots of excellent tips, exercises and profoundly sensible advice to get your online business started or on track. I wasted years buying every new ‘shiny object’ and getting nowhere. Finally they have got me on the road to building a real business that is under my complete control. Can’t recommend their podcasts too much - all of them!
An Instant Hit!
I've been a Thrive Themes user for quite a while now, so checking out the podcast made perfect sense because the marketing principles built into all the products are so sound - I'd expect the podcast to be the same.
It's an instant hit for me - a great presentation style, mix of voices, brilliant content, experienced, enthusiastic and informed presenters - great stuff, a really refreshing listen for all online marketeres.
Well done guys, I just got a new podcast to add to my essential weekly listens :-)
Great podcast
Good content for entrepreneurs who want to build a business on a different way. Let's go!
