Building a Business and Life You Love with Duncan MacPherson
One of the reasons why many of us get into this business is to build a business that allows us to have the life we want to live: travel, build wealth, build a legacy, maybe even have a business we can eventually hand off to our kids. Along the way, it’s easy to let day-to-day business get in the way and forget why we’re doing this in the first place.
