Vistage Small Business Member

For years, I was growing out of fear, fear of losing clients, fear of instability. I knew how to operate, but I wanted to build something that could outlast me. We started with conservative single-digit revenue growth, after joining Vistage, that growth consistently moved into the double digits.
