Dear Members

It feels like our brain is half functioning, with everyone rushing to go on vacation and hardly anyone working. Or at least so it seems. The truth is that many entrepreneurs nowadays are thinking of the fourth quarter of the year, and are looking for ways to push hard and soar. The end of the summer is a great opportunity to celebrate your successes and strategize how to grow your business in the coming months.
