This guidebook is suitable for anyone who has yet to start, or already started but feeling like they need guidance on how to gain control and momentum in their business.

There are so many things that I work on every single day, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought that this was necessary now, when it is so raw and I want the energy that I have for my business today to translate to you, and all the excitement and realness that comes with that.
