The Stop Start Cycle is when you know what to do to build your business and you start doing it - but then you stop doing it before it's done and move onto something else.

When you're in the Stop Start Cycle, you have an inspired idea > feel excited > start taking action > have a different inspired idea > feel excited > start taking action on the second idea > and on and on. Lots of ideas, lots of action, nothing finished. But there's nothing wrong with you!

In this episode, I share what's really going on and how to escape the Stop Start Cycle for good so you can finally build momentum in your business.
