The 6 Ways

The 6 Ways

A show for action-taking entrepreneurs... The dirty little secret that the business gurus don't want you to know is that there’s no wrong way to be an entrepreneur. They want you to do things THEIR way, but THEIR way may not be YOUR way. The key to success is finding the strategies that work best for you, so every week we're having a conversation with a smart, innovative guest that is thriving in their field expertise to share their best tips with the rest of us, so WE can all achieve our entrepreneurial goals. Because I believe we all do better when we all do better. My name is Jerry Potter, founder of Five Minute Social Media (100,000+ Subscribers on YouTube), and I can't wait to see you take action in your business using the strategies and tips we'll be sharing each week.
