What you actually need to build and scale a business with Gemma Gilbert

Quits and Giggles

The business cards, the website, the photoshoot…..none of it actually matters when you are starting a business.
So, what should you be focusing on?
In this episode I’m joined by the incredible Gemma Gilbert, a business coach specialising in all things group programmes. Gemma was the coach who helped me create my group coaching programme Side Hustle without Social, as well as so much more than that.
She shares the things she wasted time and money on at the beginning of her business. Her meteoric rise to a £10k month, plus all the trials and tribulations that she's faced along the way.
I just know that you're going to absolutely love this episode.
