Reinvention: Finding Joy in Your Business Again With Melissa Johnson

Let's Talk Real Estate Investing with Sharon Vornholt

What happens when you realize one day that you have no joy around your business? The very thing that used to make you so happy, has lost its spark? Maybe, you are feeling like a ship that’s completely off course. I have talked to a lot of entrepreneurs that have found themselves in exact situations in the past 18 months. And the funny thing is, not only are they unsure of how they got there, but they also have no idea how to “course correct”. The question is, what do you do? How do you fix this problem?
