Business and Goals | Episode 001

Learn how Dave and Charissa approach setting goals for their business.

The first episode of my new live show, Dave and Charissa Talk, is all about covering the topic of setting goals for your business. Goals can be tough to establish, track and accomplish especially if you’re a small business. Our conversation is all about ways we approach goal setting and goal achieving. There is no “right way” that we prescribe but rather share our successes and failures in hopes of inspiring you to find the process that works for you!

Check out this first episode and let me know what you think!
