Defeating Distraction For Women Entrepreneurs
I read a sales page the other day for #womenentrepreneurs. The HEADLINE: “The problem is… you’re constantly distracted by things in your personal life.” It was an event about business habits — specifically for people working from home — and the leader is a PHENOMENAL leader.
