Episode Summary: In this episode of the Business Owner Breakthrough, Pete Mohr discusses the critical role that people play in your business success. As the fourth P in the five P framework (Promise, Product, Process, People, and Profit), your people—whether they are customers, team members, or outsourced suppliers—are vital to creating a thriving business.
