Hey there!!!

Welcome to this little bonus episode, episode 36.5!

I added this episode so I could tell you about one of summer coaching promotions available to you this summer.

It’s a 1-on-1 laser beam focused coaching program called Summer Series Coaching.

Clients meet once in July, once in August and once in September with a specific desired result. My question to you is how good would it feel to get ONE big thing figured out before fall?

What’s so great about summer series? Well…it’s low commitment, highly personalized, results based, and focused. It gets you set up for whatever is NEXT for your business.

And some of you are saying…Ang!! I don’t even know what I want anymore. I don’t know what’s next! I’ve been so busy reacting to all the things that I can’t even remember what it’s like to be proactive.

If that’s you…let’s go.

Let’s get proactive about your business.

Let’s get proactive about your next steps.

Lemme tell ya about the summer series.
