#53 The 5 most common mistakes business owners make

My ultimate goal is to educate and empower business owners so they can avoid having to call a lawyer like me when something goes wrong.

#48 In conversation with Lorraine Murphy

Business owners often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed trying to wear several different hats. Often when we feel these draining emotions it can be caused by a lack of clarity on where we need to focus our energy. This can then lead us to try to spread our attention across many different areas to try and get everything done.
