Picking The Fruits Despite Some BIG Challenges #BusinessUpdate
In this episode, I’m excited to catch you up on what’s been happening in my businesses over the past couple of months.
I’m a big believer in starting with the end in mind, and while setting goals and targets for your business is key, I think it’s just as important to have goals and dreams outside of business too—those are the real reasons we build businesses in the first place.
So, I’ll share some updates from my businesses, plus a peek into my personal life. I’ll talk about the challenges I’ve been facing with settling in new tenants for my HMOs, updates on my development projects, my thoughts on the autumn budget, and more!
