  • Where Are They Now? Jackie Bolen (From AP 1003)

    Jackie was one of the first guests here on AskPat 2.0, back in Episode 1003. Back then, Jackie was struggling to decide between pursuing her ESL (English as a Second Language)-related business or a second business focused on Amazon. She was torn between the two, and couldn't focus and grow either as a result. What happened next? That's what today is all about: Jackie's here to tell us what she decided, what happened, and the strategies she's now using to grow her business by 4x. Amazing.
