Dec 17, 2019 | , , ,

Today’s guest mentioned early on in our conversation that she found herself taking the work that came to her, growing her capacity to be able to bring in *more* work, and never really stopping to ask herself how she was designing her business.

Ep 219: Prioritizing Time Off With Calibrate Your Year Creator Kelly Higdon

Kelly Higdon is a business and lifestyle coach who prioritizes her time off so much…

Srini Rao writes at least 1,000 words a day and yet the majority of them you’ll never read.
