Thank you, Neil. New sub…I’m surprised there aren’t more views, likes, and comments! I work for a small business and we just had our 8a approved, so this video was very helpful, thanks again!

[@neilmcdonnell]

I'm glad you are finding value in my daily training sessions. Most of our audience is on LinkedIn and come to UA-cam to watch the replays.
More importantly, I focus on helping folks grow their businesses and build sustainable networks. I don't teach 'get rich quick' strategies. Big difference in approach.
