THROUGH
the lens
We often get caught up in our day-to-day work, the details and specifics of our business, our industry. We fail to capture what may later prove obvious. It is times like this when we must re-evaluate our perspective, challenge our assumptions, explore through a different lens and see our business, perhaps for the first time.

How does a low-tech initiative help a high tech founder?
Welcome to The Entrepreneur 2019...
