Some listeners wrote in with questions about that struggle and, in this episode, we dig into some answers. We also debrief from the World Domination Summit conference. Enjoy!

The Top 10 Mistakes in Online Business
Every week we talk with entrepreneurs. We talk about what’s working and what isn’t. We talk about successes and failures. We spend time with complete newbies, seasoned veterans, and everything in between.

These conversations have been fascinating, so we compiled a list of the 10 mistakes we hear most often into a nifty lil' guide. Get the 10 Most Common Mistakes in Starting an Online Business here »
Getting the right tip to grown an adolescent business should be the preoccupation of many marketers today. This podcast seems to have addressed the facts we all all should know! I am taking my time listening to this Fizzle show and would gladly share by opinions hereafter!

Awesome, Shayna!
I prefer to think my business is in the “terrible two’s.” I have achieved enough success that I want to call the shots. But the reality is–I have a lot to learn from clients who are biotech companies and startups. What they suffer to build their business makes my consulting shop look like preschool.
Humor aside, I do need to pivot, as I’m overworked and unamused by my 9 to 9, 7-day-a-week work schedule. The Fizzle podcast came at the perfect time. It’s Tuesday and I have lots of admin work to do.
