AMI KASSAR
Founder & CEO, MultiFunding
Most business owners say they’re investing back into their businesses. However, I find many struggle to tell me exactly how they are doing that. If you don’t know how much you’re investing or how those investments are doing, you can’t make intentional plans for the future. Goals should not be abstract milestones we hope and pray to reach one day. There has to be a plan, steps, and timeline in place to ensure those goals are met. Hold yourself accountable with your investments and make informed decisions about next steps.
