Common Business Myths, Misconceptions, And Mistakes With Richie Cronin
Every week on Friday, we go live with a free coaching call where you can get cutting-edge info and ask us any questions you have.
This is a super valuable resource for our community which is why we've done it nearly 300 weeks in a row…
But as useful as getting your questions answered is, it's just as useful getting your answers questioned.
What do I mean?
I mean covering core myths and misconceptions that you may have about marketing, business, sales, and growing an agency.
That's why on this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session, the great Richie Cronin went live to question everything you may know about local marketing.
This is perfect if you're new and want to make sure you don't make costly mistakes.
Or if you've been around for a while but aren't making the progress you want to, this could show you exactly why.
