What It's About
A coach dives into social media marketing a bit too soon.
Notes from Chris
Episode 2036
I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success, if not more. It’s with this principle in mind that I offer you a weekly segment called Failure Friday: a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure. Just like our Throwback Thursday segment, you’ll hear directly from side hustlers who have struggled to get something off the ground. They’ll tell you a short story of something that went very wrong. The stories will vary, but often it starts with an idea, what they thought would happen and what really happened—and of course, what they learned. Today’s short story features Shana Hartman, owner of Synergy Wellness. She’s going to tell us about using Facebook ads too soon! Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
