📝 Strategy - Don't just set it and forget it. Make time regularly to extricate yourself from the day-to-day to revisit and focus on your strategy. 
📍 Location Strategy - We’ve seen many different location strategy models that have worked and that haven’t worked. The key is to be intentional about what you want to work for your business.

⭐ Company Culture - It’s more than pizza parties and pop-a-shot. It’s about getting people onboard with a shared mission. It’s how your team feels about the business, how they feel about your customers. Shared company values that people connect with.
