Episode Details
Back to EpisodesHow I course corrected my worst business year - Part 2
Description
You dialled into episode 1 where Cherie talked about TDP's no-good-very-bad-year... but episode 2 is where we talk about how Cherie - quite literally - CLIMBED her way out of that no-good-very-bad-year.
This year [21/22FY] was that one point in TDP's x11 year history where even Cherie, wired for perpetual optimism, says this was the moment where she thought to herself: the only reason I'm not closing this business right now... is because I *actually* can't afford to.
And so she persisted, and TDP went on to hit its best EVER season thanks to that persistence... and we are breaking it *ALL* down in this episode.
From half a million dollars down, to
BEST YEAR IN BUSINESS > EVER
