At the SBA awards dinner on April 23rd, one of the recipients shared the story of how her immigrant family inspired her own entrepreneur path. When her parents immigrated to the Pacific Northwest, they started as dairy farmers. When the economic recession of the 1970s hit, the dairy industry was under fire. Instead of bemoaning their woes, her fifty-plus-year-old parents decided to attend community college. There, the couple found their calling in the hospitality industry. They ran a profitable hotel until retirement.
Her parents were not afraid to change gears midstream. They realized that letting go was the best way to move from surviving to thriving. Do you need to change gears? Or can you tap undiscovered opportunities within the business you already have?
