Resources for Startups and Small Businesses

"Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."
- Proverbs 11:14


Entrepreneurship may seem like a lonely road, but it doesn't have to be. Even though you are building your own vision, there is still a place for team input. No person possesses every skill set, and it would be a waste of time to try and acquire all the skills needed for your business. Focus on what you do well, and work with people who are experts in other aspects of your business. You were never meant to do it alone.
