Why a Business Would Not Build Their Online Presence
Recently we were speaking with a dentist. He had been in business for 30 years. He was slowing down, he did not want to grow. He wanted to start having more time with his family. He had established himself so long and worked so hard, it was time to enjoy life. This is a perfect example of a business who was not interested in reaching their full potential. His years of seeking and working towards building an empire had already passed and he was now focusing on all the things and parts of life he had sacrificed before.
