This is an outstanding resource. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this audio session. Charlie really hit home when he talked about starting from scratch and having to put everything together yourself!! The effort and concentration sometimes takes over on every front, but I found doing market research at first was akin to being dropped on an alien planet and asked to pick up the language from the get go. Before I knew it though I was able to gain one of those moments of clarity, when I realised who our market was! I could see them!
Also, we have managed to get a business advisor (Rob Hook) on board who understands the spiritual, the creative and the business side of what we are trying to do! This has helped tremendously too, as we need constant mentoring!
It feels like a long road though, or is it a slow train coming around the bend!?!
