Change + Growth
Recognizing change can feel like a hopeless task sometimes because we're evaluating the changes in real time. But the bottom line—we must grow.

In small business, we know the only constant is change. Our industries, client needs, or internal resources and structures. They all are moving parts. Change isn't comfortable but in order to keep up you have to change and grow. The other important thing, growth has to come from within. When we were younger we had mentors. But now, as small business owners we have to look to ourselves to make the road map. How do you know when the time is right to make a change when you have no one to give you an answer? This episode we enjoy the most refreshing cocktail yet. You definitely want to check out our Watermelon and Cucumber Cocktail.
