As I settled in to write you this week, I started to reflect on my past 10+ years of entrepreneurship. I'm struck by the variety of lessons this journey has brought into my life. It’s been a road of highs, lows, and everything in between. Today, I want to share some of these lessons with you, hoping they resonate and perhaps guide you along your own paths.
The Power of Community
The first and perhaps most profound lesson has been the immeasurable value of community support. In our town, where everyone knows each other by first names and business is more than just transactions over a register, I've learned that our neighbors are our greatest advocates. When Green Roost was just starting, it was the enthusiastic word-of-mouth from our local community that really helped put us on the map. To this day, that word-of-mouth is still what lifts us up and carries us along.
