Hard Work: The True Path to Success with Chris James

Start your own business they say….

 

Work your own hours, be your own boss, live your best life.

 

But the reality is not that easy. You have to graft, and you have to graft hard.

 

Chris James, Founder of Content to Clients is my guest in this episode, and he tells it like it is. You have to work hard, you have to be resilient and sometimes you just have to trust that you can do it.

 

Chris left his job in a call centre, supported by his loved ones, to build his own business, something he says is central to his success.

 

Since then, he has helped countless business owners hit big money months, but they all had to put in some serious effort to get there. He shares his journey of business growth over the past three years, and how he has ended up working with an all-female team.

 

Chris tells it like it is, so get ready to find out what it’s really like to run your own business and get prepared to take some risks.
