    310: Daring to Develop a “Permission Granted” Business with Manda Weaver

    We are so excited to have Manda Weaver with us today. She is a mid-Atlantic luxury wedding photographer. Today, we are going to talk about mindset and this term that she has coined, “permission granted mindset,” where if you give yourself permission to say yes to your goals and thoughts and if you do you're going to have big things coming to you. Manda is going to chat about ways she has given herself permission to do things she didn’t think she was ready for or might not have been the route most people go but how it has benefited her greatly. We can’t wait for you to listen and give yourself permission to help create the business and life you’ve dreamed of.
