295. Is Your Business Ready for Multi-Location Growth? Learn from Shannon Leahy’s Wedding Business Success Story

So...should you do it anyway?

Let's find out from someone who plans weddings throughout the world and has locations in San Francisco, Charleston, Los Angeles, and Miami - Shannon Leahy.
