In this Right on Time podcast episode, I got to talk with Zach Spuckler, the owner of Heart, Soul, and Hustle, a marketing company that turns course creators into profitable business owners. They work with digital-based businesses that want to scale with Facebook ads, automation, and stop the cycle of neverending launching.

Zach's company has gone through phases of growth and rebirth over the years. He has tried models that worked and models that he was happy to leave behind. Which has led him and Heart, Soul, and Hustle to success.

He let go of perfectionism and took action.

We discuss:

• Building an awesome business (even when you don't get it right the first time)
• Keeping your business in line with your values and belief
• Letting go of the idea of everything needing to be perfect
