The fascinating story of a cop, turned author, turned full time web designer! Meet Adam Davis from Enlivify Total Solutions. He runs a web agency in sunny Alabama. I loved listening to Adam's story and outside of the podcast, I've grown to really enjoy the content he shares, his personality and his wonderful family pictures he regularly shares. A true gentleman!

Action You Can Apply Today:
Look at your team. Separate the core services you do, and the value add services. Consciously separate those out. See if you can get rid of some (the non profitable/time draining), or see if you can break them down into easier packages to manage client expectations. WordPress
