What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Selling five companies.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Learning to work On your business vs. working IN it!

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Know what the outcome is before you start (have targets). Form a plan, create systems and monitor it and make sure you focus on the high priorities. Don't get lost in the weeds of the day-to-day operations of the business.
