I really like this interview with Patrick Henry from @QuestFusion. I took his virtual coaching workshop on strategic planning. The out of the box thinking about combining my efforts on the Lifestyle blog (www.thesdlifestyle.com) and my real estate sales business (www.EstatesByAmanda.com) was revolutionary for me. I have a much clearer picture of where I want to take both businesses in a much more synergistic way.
