If you're open to them, business lessons are all around you, every single day, and they're yours to grab and take hold of as you move through life.

“ I think as you are surrounded by other people, whether they're business people or not, you can learn a lot about people and success by watching them. By watching how they go through life. By watching how they act and interact and react. We learn the most about people when they are in adverse situations.”

“ It is never okay, in my opinion, to just talk about what you've got for sale. Nobody cares that you've got something for sale. Guess what? They’ve got something for sale, too!”   

-Bonnie L. Frank 

Today’s episode is my third episode about Clubhouse. Yes, my third. Why? Well, I thought it was about time I dispel some misconceptions about Clubhouse. If you’ve heard the buzz about Clubhouse from any online social media marketers, you would think there were customers just lining the Clubhouse hallways eager to buy any discount webinar, photo filter or online course you are hawking.
