Show Quotes

There is power in labels. Assign a label for your community that makes them feel and realize they are distinct, and they will be attracted to your business.

Never assume you have it right. Tweak certain things about your business to appease your customers, but always be in alignment with what you want for yourself.

Never ask a question just once; ask a question many times and many ways.

Share your ideas more often! Networking is essential.
