What is your “WHY?”

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone came along and waved a magic wand and granted your wildest dreams? But would that “Dream come true” be satisfying?

On this episode of The Amazing Seller, Scott shares the advice he would give to parents who are considering becoming entrepreneurs.
