Beth Potter and Growing a Team of Leaders

Most business owners know WHERE they want to go. They have all their goals outlined, have all of their quarterly plans laid out in detail, and break down their growth strategy year-by-year. 

But, that isn’t enough to create and build a great business. 

Y’all, leaders of great businesses don’t start with the ‘where’…

… they start with the ‘who’. 

And no matter how dire the circumstances get, they always put the people first and the direction second.
