Your numbers are perfect right now.


Your business numbers are perfect right now.

Years ago, I launched a program I was very passionate about. I imagined 20, or 30, maybe even 50 people enrolling and participating. Exciting! Actual number of sign-ups? One person. I had to cancel it, and refund the person. It was a painful experience, because my expectations didn’t match the results.
