Are you leaving your recruiting class open-ended and hoping for the best? You might be signaling that your offer isn’t valuable. @recruitwithdan shares why:

Think financial planning is only for rich people? Think again. For young coaches juggling debt, low pay, and long hours, it might be the smartest move you make. Learn why:
