FEATURED RESOURCE: KAJABI - 14 DAY TRIAL

One of the biggest bottlenecks that I see creative entrepreneurs and small business owners experience is made by juggling multiple platforms trying to manage their online business. Can you relate from your website to your email list to your sales pages? It can be overwhelming and time consuming. Kajabi is the all in one platform that I personally use to manage my membership, my online courses, my classes, my workshops, my sales pages, my opt-in pages, and honestly, even my actual website is hosted on Kajabi. It's like having a personal assistant for your online business because it also has a super intuitive interface and easy to use tools that help you manage your courses or your memberships or your digital products.

Review of the week: 

THANK YOU!

This is exactly the podcast I’ve needed. After my lengthy professional hold thanks to years of medical crisis, I felt I’d fallen too far behind to re-embark on the creative career dreams I once held. This podcast makes me feel as if my biggest aspirations are still possible and important, and provides clear steps to help me strategize and move forward. Truly stellar work from an amazing woman! Thank you, Bonnie!
