How to thrive in business and life

When people start their own business, it’s exciting. There are new challenges that you can overcome by yourself, and problem-solving can be fun puzzles. The problem comes when you reach the point of massive growth.

There’s a point in every business that becomes overwhelming. You’ll face problems you never expected. It may be that you simply can’t put enough labels on packages. You may find that your landlines aren’t sufficient enough to handle all the calls coming in from customers.

These problems aren’t something unique, and can easily be avoided by having the right help. Talking to someone who’s already gone through growing pains is essential if you want to stay in business. You’d be surprised at how many businesses fail simply because they aren’t willing to adapt and scale.

Luckily we have a very special episode of Old Souls & Seekers this week with Trey Lewellen. Trey has run many several successful businesses and has gone through every growing pain you can imagine.
