Episode 269: Lessons From 1 Year of Hiri...

JAMES WEDMORE
About this episode

Today's case study of the week reveals 12 months of lessons from an entrepreneur who hired her first employee one year ago. My special guest is Nicole Begley, who is in an awesome and unique niche. She is not only a pet photographer, but Nicole actually teaches and coaches other people building the same type of business. In this episode you'll hear all about her journey and specifically how she let go of the small, "busy" tasks that weren't generating revenue, in order to truly step into the role of the digital CEO!
