Show Notes
Do you have that dream career you’ve always wanted to pursue? If not, is it because life seems to get in the way? Maybe you already have a successful career and you tell yourself you don’t have the time to try and go after that dream because you have a family or it might require a bit of an investment, or be inconvenient. Well if you can relate to these feelings then you’ll love our interview today with Sandra Osborne.
