Sharing our mistakes with the world helps us all to grow further faster, and in my first year of business I made many mistakes that I share with you on this episode. You too will make mistakes in your business, and perhaps I can help you to avoid some epic fails by sharing my own with you. But I also don’t consider them failures, I consider them the places where I grew the furthest.  Inside the episode I talk about: How you learn faster when you make mistakes How investing in myself helped me to grow faster How most of the returns on my investments have not been monetary and that’s fine by me!
