The point between being stuck/stagnant in your business and soaring with success is often related to how much you get in your own way. Your mindset determines the actions you take as well as the complexity of those actions. What you choose can make or break your business.
JC Preston and Daniel Postma invited me onto their Angles of Latitude show to talk about some of those mental blocks that many of us have – including visibility and money blocks – and how to make complex decisions, simple.
No matter if you are feeling overwhelmed in your business or you want to make building your business a bit easier and more fun, this is the episode for you.

Hey Steph!
Was a pleasure having you on the show. Mental blocks are the biggest problem that people have in truly being a success with whatever that they’re doing.
Specifically, money blocks are something I think a lot of people struggle with. That part of the conversation is worth the listen of this particular episode!
Thanks again for hopping on with Daniel and me!
Cheers,
JC
