New Year, New Projects

The Business Owners Success club has been around since… I just looked it up on my Docs and the first one I can find was written December 14 2005. So this year is the 10th anniversary.

In recent years I’ve had a vision for this as a place where business owners can gather to help each other. I see that there are times when we need help and when we can give help. I see building a platform where there is no us (needing help) and them (the gurus who give it). The lines are blurred. We all benefit by giving and receiving help as and when we need it.

I don’t know what that will look like, but I’m going to take this year to find out.
