My client Laura started her business coaching college students in 2020 - and we’ve worked together almost the whole time! On today’s episode of the Simple Online Business Podcast I have an unfiltered chat with Laura to show you about what it’s really like to grow a business. We talk about networking vs social media for marketing, balancing business and being a mom, tailoring your strategy to your business and goals and why having your own business if the best job out there. We covered a lot of ground, and I think every single business owner will find something they needed in this conversation.
