227 How to Streamline Your Content Creation with Josh Barney

Today we're talking about how and why your business is speaking to you, and what you need to do about that. Often we get wrapped up in doing the things that we think we should be doing, potentially getting caught up in a rat race.

When your business has a purpose, a mission and a message, you don't need to run the race.  Resources: - Connect with James Burke https://uk.linkedin.com/in/jamesburkebusinesscoachmanchester - Connect with Pete Cohen https://petecohen.com/ - Check out Get Visible: How to Have More Impact, Influence & Income, a book by Anna Parker-Naples https://annaparkernaples.co.uk/book/
