IN THIS EPISODE:

#089 - This week we cover the last of the six business pillars: marketing. Once the foundation of your business is in place, it's time to start telling the world. Because as much as we'd like the easy "build it and they will come" success, that's rarely how it works.  

Thankfully, as you'll learn in this final episode of the series, the three phases of marketing your business are pretty straightforward. (Just remember to have the other five pillars in place first!)
