Keys to Success: “Persistence is crucial for success as a business owner. It can be a lonely journey at the top, where the usual sources of praise, like a boss or manager, are absent. While support from the team is valuable, the true test lies in the ability to keep pushing forward despite challenges. For me, maintaining that persistence is the most important factor without question."
Advice to Business Owners: "For those starting or growing a business, it's crucial to connect with others—not just within your industry, but in similar fields as well. Building a network of trusted individuals allows you to share ideas and seek advice when facing challenges, whether related to a project or an employee issue. Instead of trying to navigate difficult situations alone, collaborating with others can lead to better solutions. Engaging in conversations often helps us see connections and insights that we might overlook when thinking by ourselves. Being in the right environment and making informed decisions is essential for success."
