You can't grow a business in isolation.
I've spent years telling clients that the thing holding them back usually isn't skill. It's that nobody around them can see what they're capable of, and they can't say it out loud themselves.
Turns out that applies to business owners too.
This week I signed on as a founding member at Ascend704 in Monroe - and yes, Live in Your Strengths has an office! That part still feels a little unreal.
But the office isn't the reason I joined.
Ascend704 is a room full of people building things. Founders, small business owners, professionals who are done working alone at their kitchen table. The kind of place where you walk down the hall with a problem and walk back with three people who've already solved it.
That's what I want for my own business. It's also, not coincidentally, exactly what I help teams build inside their own organizations - people who know what they bring, who know what everyone else brings, and who stop working like a group of strangers.
Growth is a team sport. Even when you're the whole team.
If you're building something in Union County and you're doing it alone - go look at Ascend704. Take the tour. I'll be the one in 114 starting in January!
