Ready Yet?! With Erin Marcus

Ready Yet?! With Erin Marcus

For years I’ve witnessed entrepreneurs and small business owners not have the business they want to have….not have the impact they want to have……not have the life they want to have. And it’s not because they weren’t smart enough or good enough at what they do. The truth of it is that the biggest thing holding us all back from the amazing things that are possible is US! That’s right. Whether we realize it or not, we do this to ourselves! This podcast is dedicated to those people who are ready to be more…do more….step into more.
