Running a business isn’t easy.  Running a business that’s hurting during ‘tough times’ isn’t easy and can be downright painful.  I know.  I’ve experienced it… a lot.  I’ve wanted to quit, but there’s been something that has kept me hanging on…and my heart has held on to that certainty there was a bigger purpose here, [...]
