Are you spending all day working on your business but still not making sales?


In this episode, David Shands and Donni Wiggins break down the difference between revenue-producing, revenue-supporting, and revenue-delaying activities and why so many entrepreneurs stay stuck in preparation mode instead of making money.

You'll learn:

The difference between being busy and being profitable

Why perfectionism is costing you money

How to identify revenue-delaying activities
