This book is packed with skills wrapped in stories, that are memorable, actionable and easily shared.

Thank you to Mark Leblanc for hosting the 151st Achiever's Circle. It's a weekend retreat that he calls "the anti-bootcamp experience." Mark pivoted big-time, offering this business development retreat virtually. It's been great.
There are 10 of us from all over the country soaking up Mark's philosophy and his 9 best practices for true business growth. So far, my big take aways: there's never been a better time to start something new (program, product, presentation or service), track your numbers for faster success and the value of a short, strategic phone call. All this, while "keeping our fun meter on max!"

Whatever platform you use, being “always on” can be draining. And it turns out, there’s science behind it and some remedies, too.
