About the Episode:

In today’s episode, we’re talking to Jenny Shih, the business coach who helps hard-working professionals navigate the murky waters of building a six-figure (plus) service-based business.

Today, she helps a wide range of different types of business owners to do everything from building their email list to validating the concept of their service offering & growing it into a “real” business that actually earns money, overcoming strategic challenges in order to double revenue, build stronger sales skills and seriously so much more.
