We're currently in wrapping up our Money Mindset Bonanza Month - and one the cash flow  accelerators is to take a look at all your business (and personal life) credit card and bank statements. 2. An action taker asked - what app I was using to host our audio based group coaching program since I moved away from Hello Audio So I decided to let in you behind the scenes the 3 new paid apps I've been using and their shortcomings (got to keep it 100%) to see if they could help boost your bottom line too.
