You took the plunge and started your own business. The engines are revved and you are moving full speed ahead. All of a sudden, things come to a screeching halt. You are great at what you do, but you actually need to RUN the business as well. First, you have marketing and advertising, in addition to emails, Facebook Live, Instagram and funnels. What???
