What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run or grow a small business today?
- Do it because you LOVE it!
- Have a Plan (doesn't have to be 20 pages but do know what you want to do and how you plan to get there.
- Understand that those closest to you might NOT be your biggest supporters or cheerleaders. It's the first lesson of entrepreneurship. You do it because it's what you believe you are called to do.

Have a looking glass into the future. All kidding aside, I think it is just setting aside time to continue to LEARN.

Complete honesty and transparency here. That is a work in progress and I am way back at the starting line. I love what I do and I always say if you see me running call the police - I Don't Jog! I would rather work than exercise.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
As a former educator, there is nothing more critical than remaining a "Life-Long Learner". There are so many resources out there and I am continually taking advantage of them. It is the best gift I give myself and those we work with.
