My Final Words Of The Week
On Monday, July 18th at 3 pm PST I'm hosting a new Skill Session.
It's a one-hour workshop called The Niche Definer.
In it, I'll show you a system you can use to clarify who you serve and how you serve them.
This will be the 4th Skill Session I've done.
The first three were:
• How To Write Your Most Successful Blog Post Ever
• The Content Compass (How to find great content to share)
• The Newsletter Booster (How to get more newsletter subscribers in 5 minutes a day)
Here's the best part:
If you join today you get access to 10 Skill Sessions for just $15 per session!
You'll get the four mentioned above plus access to the next six I do over the coming year.
