Finding ways to increase profits is at the forefront of most business owners’ minds. In theory, there are only two ways to do so--by cutting costs or by increasing prices.

Any business owner will tell you that running a business isn't easy. With so many moving parts, there are countless things that can go wrong. That's why conducting regular business health checks is so important.
Pixar’s new film, “Soul,” came out over the holiday break. In it, they describe “The Zone” as a place people travel to when they’re immersed in the things that fulfill them, such as when playing the piano, swimming, or reading.
As any business owner will testify, there are many wins and losses, highs and lows that come with owning a business.

After almost ten months of pandemic-centered decisions, most business leaders are just trying to reach the 31st.

As leaders, we can recognize that those around us are still struggling with their “new normal.” Showing gratitude for the little things can make a big difference for those you directly influence.

You’ve undoubtedly worked hard on your business. Perhaps initially you juggled all of the tasks that come with your business by yourself, but now things are looking brighter.

Why did you get into business for yourself? Most business owners who are asked this question usually answer that they started their business to have more money, time, and freedom to live the life they want. The reality is that most business owners struggle to get their business to this level because they don’t have the right resources and tools to build a successful business.
