There's so much more we discuss and you will find tons of value that can be applied if your new or a current seller.
Why Richard Wanted To Come On The Show!
He reached out to me and asked if I knew anyone in the UK (in his area) that would want to talk business over a beer or cup of coffee. He wanted to come on the show to help and share his past 18 months of experience, but wants to find a small local meet-up group.
So, if you want to reach out to Richard, leave a comment below and he will be checking this post. I hope to hang out one day with Richard and we can have that beer and discuss our businesses.
This is why I love this show and all the listeners. If this show can help others connect and build relationships to create successful businesses…this is a success.
Pretty cool stuff 🙂

Dear Jen,
Your email impacted me so much that I had to raise my rating to 4 stars. I also stated
clearly in my updated review what type of people that I feel you are.
Jen, I pride myself and running a small company that has no interest in making money,
our only goal is to honestly help people. Sometimes I feel like I am the only company on
earth that is founded with these principles.
Thank you so much for showing me that I am
NOT alone! Your humility and caring means everything.
Yes, I have tried everything to get your product to work for me, and it just isn't going to
happen. So please do process my refund. But thank you, very, very, very much for being
the type of people that you are.
God Bless,
Bill

Jen
