Success and self-mastery and overcoming anxiety

Why is it then, that as a business start-up or small business owner you tend to insist on doing everything yourself? I know, I do it too from time to time. You will be the sales person, the receptionist, the admin, the social media, the accountant in your businesses, being …

Social media is a tool that you use like any other marketing medium, newspaper, radio, magazine or flyer.
