Top 3 Value Bombs

1. A lot of businesses don’t show up when we search for them online even if they had been in business for decades.

2. Don’t let a couple of opinions weigh you. Back up your own intuition with the data of your business.

3. There’s always people trying to compete with you. If you’re not innovating and not taking your leaps of faith, you’re not going to scale your business.
