AndyTalks with @Nicoknowsbest about Goal-Setting and moving from Freelancer through Agency

(A chat from Jan 2017 that was in the can ready to be edited and published. I've a few more to do, all while keeping up with the calls happening every week!)

Myself and Nico had been doing work together for about 3 months, and we discuss how our business(es) are evolving and how we do and don't set goals.

The video we discussed briefly in the call is here.

The Tropical MBA podcast that has the "sliding scale" we refer to is here.
