Are you a visionary or an integrator in your business?
A visionary is a person who holds a big dream in the business. The integrator is the person behind creating all the systems in the business. I have been so blessed to have a great integrator. Pete and I started the business together. I am the guy behind the ideas and figuring out sales and marketing. On the other hand, Pete is the systems kind of person. He makes sure everything flows.
