Friday Ramblings From An Author-Coaching Site Almost Ready!
I’m happy to say that my coaching business is now just a week away from launching. The plug in I was hoping to use for the self-paced workshops was no longer available so I had to go looking for an alternative. Everything I found was super expensive and as this is a new business I…
