Nik And Ant - Ptma Podcast

Next in the series of our weekly Q&A.  The guys and girls we work with both on a 1-2-1 basis and in the group format submit questions via the weekly check in and we feedback via a LIVE q&a into our Facebook group.  Hope some of the questions are relevant to what you may be going through right now, and some quick fire answer, (and some not so quick) to help you directly in and on your business. 

New series of the podcast coming up over the coming months.  This time we are taking direct questions from the attendee's on the business transformation program we run.  The guys submit questions each week for us to answer directly into the Facebook group, and also had some requests to put it on a podcast to make it a little easier and accessible to listen to.  The questions are wide and varied, and will hopefully bring some value and clarity to anyone listening going through similar challenges.  Please feel free to ask any more additional questions via the email below, and we will be happy to add this in;  Admin@ptmentoracademy.com  In addition if you are wanting to jump on to the next program starting 11th January, click the link below to register;  https://forms.gle/xWbwWZ9p8otAEvD2A
