Summary
I have another case study of the week for you today, and this episode is all about what to do when your launch fails! You'll meet one of our students, Laurie Wright, who found herself in this situation and yet she didn't let it define her or her business. You're going to hear exactly how Laurie not only pivoted, but turned this "failure" into her advantage. Oh, did I mention that Laurie is doing this as a 60-year old entrepreneur, and works a full-time job?
