READY FOR STAGE 3?

Welcome to stage 2! If you came from stage 1, congrats on completing all of those tasks! If you came directly here from your quiz results, I want to suggest popping into stage 1 for a minute and take a look at the tasks and complete any that you haven't done in your business yet. As a reminder, I want you to remember that growing a business is a marathon, not a sprint. Take your time. Below is your roadmap and a 6 month plan if you decide to move that quickly, and if you take longer than 6 months to tackle all of these tasks, it's totally okay! Go at your own pace and set yourself up for success. If you don't want to work off the monthly tasks, you can always go off the checklist at the bottom of the page. As I create content around these tasks, there will be links added to access that content to help you achieve the highest level of success. Don't be afraid to ask questions and ask for feedback in the Facebook group. All that's left for you to do is get started!
