  • EP-071 Mike Ficara talks about getting back to the basics

    LAST PODCAST OF THE YEAR- This was one of my favorite podcast this year- Mike Ficara talks about getting back to the basics! This was a key concept for me in 2019 and it worked! Can't wait for 2020 to take everything to the next level!

    I always say that my kids have been some of the greatest sources for my business. This past week while watching my oldest two help around the house and helping clean up after the youngest two I explained that the youngest watch them constantly trying to learn their basic skills. Sometimes they may not get it and that's alright, but how often do we actually get back to the basics in our business?

    In this week's episode I wanted to talk about are you being tactical and practical. Many times you hear people talking about creating multiple sources of income, but that does not necessarily mean multiple types of business. Sometimes it means diversifying the core of your business.
