Launch Like a Boss

March 15, 2016

Last week we launched our new website, beingboss.club – so today we want to talk all about how to create a launch and see it through (there is nothing worse then hearing crickets after a launch). So we’re walking through our launch experience, how we made decisions for the new Being Boss website, what we did to market it, and how to commit to your launch—like a boss.
