This Episode, #25, is the big one! It’s about setting big goals for 2016, and taking your learnings from 2015 forward into the new year.

The start of a new year is a natural point at which to think about big-picture strategy and overall approach to business and business building.  If you like this approach, let me know in the Facebook Group and I’ll give more summaries of powerful business strategy books I’ve been reading.
