Today With Anna Nelson:

Today on A Well-Designed Business, I welcome my friend Anna Nelson. I met Anna in September 2022 at the HPS. Out of the 60 or so people that were there, Anna was the first person I immediately connected with. In the episode you will hear her say that this is her strength, connecting with people on a deeper level, and I can personally vouch for that.

Anna is here to talk about how she helps entrepreneurs find and use their own strengths to get focused and aligned in their businesses.
