Sample Note It! Worksheets inspired by the book

One of the things my coachees hear from me often when they express concerns about struggling to find clients is the business lesson I share in Chapter 9 of my book:

Need a little guidance in creating a basic system for yourself? These free worksheet pages (and the accompanying chapter from the book) available for download should help you get started--without the overwhelm of trying to figure it out on your own.
