“Working hard in Q4 means that Q1 gets off to a solid start. For those who didn’t plan ahead, don’t rush into hiring or strategic initiatives without exercising the proper care and time. Nothing will hamper forward momentum like a critical mistake made while rushing.”
Marty Grunder
The Grow Group
Dayton, Ohio
“You hit the ground running in 2024, in large part, by what you did in 2023. In one sense, it’s never too late but companies who grow are intentional about it. And growth requires a runway. It requires planning or it isn’t going to happen. A well laid out plan has all the elements of selling, doing, billing and collecting for the work.”
Phil Harwood
Tamarisk Business Advisors

“With a clear set of strategic goals.”
