“If you don’t like or love your product, leave it.” – Ben Brown
Walking away from something can be one of the hardest things we do. This is also true when it comes to our businesses. But, if you don’t like or love your product, it’s time to walk away from it. The fact that you no longer like or love your product may be costing you to lose sales.
