I’m excited to rescue this interview with business coach Jenny Shih from the 2017 archives! It’s such a good one if you’re a service-provider and want to sell more of your services or launch an offer that you can scale. Because the great thing about 1:1 services is that you don’t need to create a huge product or have a big launch to inject quick cash into your business.
Jenny Shih is a fantastic coach who helps her clients start, grow, and streamline a successful online service-based business without working a ton of hours or make huge sacrifices. Her philosophy is rooted in making money doing work you love while also living a life you love. I know you’re going to love this conversation.
