Summer Recess & Review - Rise over Run

Hi Friends – I am on vacation and I suspect perhaps you are too – or just came back or about to head out? It’s just that time of year.

What goals would you put on your own bingo card for the rest of the year? |

The news is full of stories of unicorns and AI startups and VC-funded tech start-ups and failures – but what about the rest of us small business owners? Don’t forget about the everyday entrepreneurs. We have our own tales of success, and of failure. Here...
