In this week’s episode I wanted to go into how strategic are you with choosing partnerships and when should you walk away from a partnership. Partnerships are an important part of business and we form them with not just our business partners but our clients and our staff as well. I'm going to break down what I know and what I have observed from startup level to firmly established.

Fifty episodes! Wow! It has been a great journey and we have come a long way since the beginning but completing 50 episodes is something special. I wanted to talk about how I got started in podcasting and I realized that this isn't my first podcast, I had a small podcast about 10 years ago that I did as well. Podcasting is important because it gives a way for your audience to learn more about you and what you are about. Its a great way to create an inbound lead generation as well as a platform to have guests that bring value to your brand. --- Support this podcast:

In today's episode we are going over the concept of being a coach and a cheerleader. When do you need a pep talk and when do you need just some encouragement. Being a coach or having a mentor I believe to makes major difference in developing ones business. Coaches are great because they keep us accountable, they need to challenge you to be better, and help you see the bigger picture. These three components are some of the key topics we will be covering.
