With a new year comes new dreams and resolve to make those dreams reality.
For those considering becoming their own bosses and starting a local business, we looked back at our 2013 business profiles and the answer to this question: “What advice would you give someone who wants to start a business?”
Customer service, long hours and dedication are key.
Good luck in 2014!
