Subscribe to receive weekly emails https://aurik.com/businessbuilders/Follow on Linkedi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pavlophitidis/Too many established businesses get stuck because the market cannot clearly tell what they really do best.This week I sat with an owner who, together with his wife, pulled their pension money out of secure jobs and put everything into rescuing a struggling surface supply business.
