During Down Turns, Buyers Refer to Experts Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

Understand Who is Your Ideal Avatar pt 2 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. If you were a college, if you were a university, you would look at someone like you, someone like me and say, Oh, well, they're a good candidate.

Decide Where You Are as an Entrepreneur Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.First off, decide where you are because when you're trying to make a mark, it's time to be bold, it's time to be provocative, it's time to take risk.

If I've got cupcakes, I'm going to try to find people who like cupcakes. Well, guess...
