Rob wants you to know
Starting a new business venture of any kind involves learning a lot of new things, and progress isn’t always linear. My goal is to break down complex and intimidating topics and educate readers on a wide range of subjects so that they can make the best possible decisions for their business and team.
Measure twice, cut one. Having a firm strategy to execute can reduce failure, costs, and headaches in a profound way.
