[Video] When your collaboration needs to make $10K/month
This topic was really pertinent before, but now in the midst of COVID-19 it’s even more so, as I see people taking on collaborations and other partnerships, in response to the isolation of quarantine… as we should!

[Video] A spiritual answer to feeling tender marketing in public
It’s really not unusual for those with hearts, with empathy, with caring, to feel… tender? Tentative. Exposed in some sense when going to market their business out in public.
