I hosted a ’sold out’ free teleseminar with Gina Ratliffe, who shared how she built an online empire in just six months.
Because so many people were bumped off the call because it was filled to capacity, I want to share the recording of the call with everyone.
You’ll hear:
what’s the basic thought that often holds a […]

I saw an amusing article the other day over at MSNBC on the question of drinking at meetings when you are an entrepreneur.
