Sign up at http://www.rechargingyou.com POWERSTATION Mastermind Group: At Recharging You, we know that you want to be a focused, confident entrepreneur with clear direction. In order to do that, you need to get out of your head and learn from other creative entrepreneurs. The problem is you're a solopreneur with limited knowledge and experience on what your next steps need to be which makes you feel uncertain and alone.  We believe every entrepreneur should be supported, challenged, and encouraged as they grow their business. I understand how overwhelming and demanding building a creative business can be because I have been growing my business for 17 years.  Here's how the group works: 1. I listen carefully to your goals and struggles 2. Work with you to identify patterns and unlock opportunities 3. I walk with you through this transformation and help you reach your business goals. Join the Wait list and be first to find out when the next season opens. So you can stop being stuck and doubting your value and your decisions and instead start seeing growth in your mindset and in your business.  www.rechargingyou.com/coaching/powerstation-learn-more Leave a Review &amp; Share with Your Friends One of the best ways to support the channel and podcast is to leave a review on iTunes or Google Play or where ever you get your podcasts.
