From 1 Client to 10 Clients in 6 Months

Strategic Exceptions and Terrie Simmons have really been critical to me realizing that I am capable of long-term success as well as helping me to get started on a journey not only to build my business and grow but also to feel like I can become successful. I went from having 1 client to 6 clients in the span of 6 months.
