Podcast Episode 006: Crash and Learn: James Wedmore

Crash & Learns are where I interview an entrepreneur about a time that they probably don’t want to talk about – a total business failure.

This week, I’m talking with James Wedmore, an online business coach and mentor {mine, in fact!} who has seen it all when it comes to business struggles.

Listen in on Episode 7 and you’ll learn

  • How James started his very first business and then jumped into an online video training business (that evolved into different sectors)
  • Why he had 3-4 years of slow growth before he could get a result
  • What James struggled with the most as he was building other areas of his business and how it enables him to help people get results faster with their businesses
  • What James noticed is the number one thing that people struggle with (hint – it really prevents business growth)
  • What James advises entrepreneurs to focus on as they create their business
