Sharing Lessons from Actual Business Owners
Working with Gary has been incredibly rewarding and educational.
Gary challenges me to think outside of “my think box”, and expand my roles in my business beyond my “technician” role. Gary has encouraged me to read a book called “The E-Myth”. The book is incredibly encouraging and I highly recommend it to all who are thinking of going into business for themselves. Gary and I are currently working on budgets, profit and loss statements and providing me with the tools needed to make mature, educated decisions and be able to work through different financial scenarios. It has been, and continues to be an incredible insight to building a successful business!6
