Business Coach Jeff Garrison on Pain Points and Fixing Them

It's been several years since we've visited with business coach and entrepreneur Jeff Garrison. Several years ago Jeff started his business Results on Purpose and hasn't looked back. Here we talk about what he does, how those meetings (that happen in cities all over the country) start, what are some common issues he and his clients deal with and then, in the end, I tag on a couple of corporate mission statements that are really powerful.  Lots of ground to cover, meet Jeff!
