How Reframing My Mind Helped Me Secure Startup Funding

That funk had closed my mind to new possibilities and to life itself. That morning, I knew it was time to change.

For the first time in more than eighteen months, I had a vision of where I wanted to take my business and numerous passive income streams and it was clear to me how I…
