Why You Can’t Do It Alone
Since I started my business over 10 years ago I have said “you can start a business on your own but no one can succeed in business alone.” I have always believed this to be true but it has felt obvious. Can it really be that simple? Is the secret to success in the people […]
Three Daily Routines to Managing A Healthy Business
It was a sad morning. When I came out to the kitchen I saw a completely wilted Azalea plant. Even though it sat where I could not miss it I had forgotten to water it for days. Azaleas need lots of water. The flowers had all folded up on themselves, trying to preserve what little […]
