I am interested in knowing the top concerns of small business owners and entrepreneurs. What worries you at 3am? What excites you so much that you can’t sleep? What keeps you awake – for positive or negative reasons?
As the owner of a small business drywall company i can tell you that this month, the positive thing that keeps me up at night is the checks i just received. However, next month the negative thing that keeps me up at night is the checks i didn’t receive.
What keeps small business owners and entrepreneurs awake at night?
