As a business owner, it is super easy to pinch your pennies everywhere you possibly can, especially when it comes to expenses that may not yield an immediate return on your investment. There are some expenditures that may not seem "urgent," to purchase, but they can be extremely "important," because they can really move the needle in your business.
And so, in today's episode, Laura and I discuss the importance of shifting your mindset in business, particularly the concept of not "stepping over a dollar to pick up a penny."

Together, Laura and I share personal anecdotes and practical advice to help YOU adopt a long-term perspective in your business strategies.
