ABOUT JERRY POTTER ➜ I'm obsessed with helping online entrepreneurs grow their business in half the time - so they can be done by lunch - and move on to other things that give their life purpose. For me it's spending time with my family, volunteering locally in my community and prioritizing my health. ❤️
