As a business owner, you know what it’s like to lie awake at 2 a.m. Maybe it has happened when you are excited and full of new ideas for your business. More often, it’s because you are worried about issues you will face the next day. Sometimes, it’s because you just woke up with the solution to a problem.

Thanks John!

I like the perspective here and the awareness of the 2nd owner of “what could happen” if this continues. It’s a gut leadership feeling that many of us ignore. Having a leader who has consistent confidence in his teams efforts adn abilities is so important. But that does not just happen it takes effort and investment in leadership and team development. A great ROI.
