| Owning a small enterprise is more like a running in a marathon than it is a sprint. Running a conscious small-enterprise can seem an awful lot like running that marathon with a 90-pound pack on your back with very few people cheering you on. Yet being part of the small-enterprise-owner community can be both rewarding and expanding because of such challenges.
How can an enterprise owner stay inspired while navigating it all? We can help with that! Ivy Sea, Inc. is a "big-vision small business." In addition to our consulting work with larger companies, we've coached, mentored, and consulted with entrepreneurs and small enterprises, and interviewed 70-plus small-business owners and advocates for the highly acclaimed book, Big Vision, Small Business, authored by Ivy Sea's founder. In this portal for "Business Owners," we've compiled a few resources designed to help enterprise owners refine or build skills, stay inspired, and make progress on key issues within their organizations. How can we help you? Send us an email! |
