Single time. I listen to it.

Mark shares the only three things that he focuses on to move the needle in his business, and he tells us why we shouldn’t be spending time on doing MOST of the things we love doing in our business. (Yes, you heard that right.)

Of course, Mark explains what content marketing is, and shares why entrepreneurs should be doing it in their businesses.

And lastly, we talk about the speech that Mark will never give again that will inspire you to reflect on the struggles you’ve had in your life in a whole new way that will help you seek success on your terms.  You can find the transcript of that speech HERE.
