| Tell us your best small idea for big business wins |
| Get sh** done. Most businesses ruin themselves with “we will see, we will wait, we will discuss” – The hard thing is to do the things. I just made it a habbit and build fully bootstrapped all my businesses because I needed to do it and because I had only limited funds. |
