by STEPHEN WARLEY

Marc-Mawhinney shows you how to build a content creation habit. The biggest mistake I see first-time entrepreneurs make is not consistently reaching out to their target customers. Marc Mawhinney shares how to build a content creation habit to build your audience, so more of your potential clients come to you, instead of you chasing after them.

He’s a coach who coaches coaches by helping them get more clients. You can learn more about his work at Natural Born Coaches and check out his podcast by the same name.
