How to move forward when you’re feeling stuck
As entrepreneurs it can be easy to get stuck in indecision, confusion or suffer from a lack of clarity around what to do next or how to move forward but I actually got to thinking about this when I was, quite literally, stuck in the muck.

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Every Entrepreneur Needs Systems podcast.
As I write this episode in my home office, there are a few things going on around me. I’ve lit the Black Cherry Merlot candle from Bath and Body Works, and it’s filling the room with the sweet smell of wine. Last month, I found an awesome Himlayan salt lamp, and it arrived last week. It’s lighting up my desktop. Continue Reading ￫
