Every morning you wake up, have your coffee (or tea), plan your day and go about the business of running a business.

What if you tried one fresh idea or new approach every day, week or month?

It’s a great time to start thinking about what you can do just a little differently for your business. It doesn't matter whether you have just launched your business or you have been in business for many years. Take a small bold step, and then a larger, bolder step. See what happens when you try out something new.
