Listen Later

As biz owners and entrepreneurs, we wear a lot of different hats when it comes to starting, scaling, and growing a business. 

 

Am I right?!!

 

But if we truly want to be effective leaders, the key is to become accountable –or, as today’s guest likes to say, you need to become Count-On-Able™. 

 

When you become Count-On-Able™ and embrace accountability, you can unlock enormous shifts in your life and your business. 

 

Sounds good to me!!

 

Today’s guest is Jeff Cohen, a seasoned Executive with 20+ years as CEO. He’s a business coach, author, and has extensive experience starting and scaling not one, not two, but SIX companies.

Jeff is super passionate about bringing entrepreneurial freedom to the world, and he is chock FULL of information, stories and insight on all this business –and he’s sharing all of it with us today!
