  • Ep12 - Every small business owner has a team, how to recognize who's on yours and show your gratitude for their support
    Dec 1 2025

    Do you only think you have a "team" if you have employees?

    In this episode, I explore the idea that every small business owner has a support network, a "team," even if it's not a formal staff. I will share insights on how to identify these key people—mentors, family, friends, or even supportive customers—and offer practical, heartfelt ways to express appreciation for their contributions. My goal is to help small business owners feel less alone and strengthen those crucial relationships, ultimately boosting morale and sustaining their success.
