Naturally, my social recruiting agency was also struggling to grow. So, at the beginning of 2024, I decided to "up my game" and get external support from top-notch business coaches to grow my business again. Unfortunately, roughly one year after investing $10,000+ in coaching, I still haven't managed to grow my business.
