This is a great read about the marketing plan process, especially for VA start-ups. She really goes into some detail about the different elements of marketing and gives some good solid examples.
Great read about mindset and attraction. It was encouraging and inspiring to read about the ‘six-figure’ women she interviewed. If Six-Figures is one of your goals, you would find this an interesting read.
