So many little milestones, it’s hard to pick one. My first sale, my first award, my first retailer, my first freight container- all are proud moments and each was huge at the time.
Entrepreneurship often comes with a boatload of challenges, what has been your biggest challenge thus far? cashflow to support a growing company. Grow requires more capital. It’s hard to secure capital when you’re a small company.
