What have you learned about yourself/your business since March 2020?

We have a great staff. They have been very flexible and are always trying to come up with better solutions. Despite all of the challenges we have with hiring, I've learned that I am fairly effective at hiring people.

What are you looking to do differently in 2021 and going forward?

Plan more effectively. I have a ton of ideas in my mind and I need to focus on completing some of them. Less is more.

What would you share with other business owners exploring membership?

The information gathered from simple conversations with other business owners is invaluable. I don't know of another cost in my life that has had a higher return.
