Smart business owners know they don’t have all the answers. In fact, they oftentimes travel in packs. You’ve probably built a network of like-minded entrepreneurs, belong to a master mind group, or have an advisory board. The value of these can be immense. There are also ways to do this formally with C12 and Vistage, groups that I have a great respect for. Join a group.
