A brilliant and practical example of business operations at a high level
I received a call today that stripped us of $300-500k in annual sales.

Perfection is not the goal, progress is.
That means taking decisive action rather than dwelling on problems.
Doing this will lead to clarity, confidence, and breakthroughs you never thought possible.
