    Survive Your First Year in Business to Thrive with Tammy Johnston

    Want to survive your first year in business? According to Google, 20% of new businesses fail during the first two years of being open… but I bet that number is even higher for freelancers because so many people start, get stressed out, realize they have no idea what they’re doing, and then give up a few months down the line. Luckily, we have Tammy Johnston to fix that for us. In today’s episode, she shares how when you build a strong foundation, your chances of succeeding (and sticking with it) increase dramatically. Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be difficult, but there are key action items you need to keep moving forward, and Tammy will share that and much more with you!   Join us to discuss: * Surviving the first year and getting through the rough beginning stages of business * The 8 foundations every business needs to have to succeed * How to transition from “JOB” (Just Over Broke) to stable income * The mindset of moving from an employee to an entrepreneur * How to figure out the right activities to focus on, especially when you're ultra busy * The one business focus that matters (almost) more than anything else * Managing your time so you can work on those big actions that move the biz forward * How to build up your confidence as an introvert so you feel comfortable marketing   Other Resources: * Get my FREE 4-module course to amplify your services, client base, profits, and mindset in your new or growing work-from-home career.
