Reflecting back on the first four years of FOSS Business Solutions, here are four things I’ve learned…
Time flies by! For small business owners, a month, a quarter, or a year seems to be a blur and is gone before you know it. Time is the most valuable resource in a small business. Careful planning, delegating, outsourcing to professionals, and having the right support staff in place help small business owners gain more control of their time to focus on the big picture. The proper infrastructure is key to maximizing time to facilitate growth.
Small business owners work really hard! We’ve been fortunate to work with so many bright and passionate people. We’ve worked with wholesale and retail, bars and restaurants, Internet and technology firms, manufacturers, and service providers; the common theme is hard working people willing to do anything and work countless hours to achieve their dreams.
It’s all about people! We get to work with the best and the brightest. We learn from our clients and partners as much as they learn from us. We cheer them on and I have been humbled how they, in return, cheer us on. So many good people are willing to go out of their way to help FOSS Business Solutions succeed. I appreciate the employees, clients, business partners, friends, and family who make FOSS Business Solutions great!
