Current Issue - May 2023 -

I strongly encourage you to read “Anyone can be successful, Just ask Nathan Miller” on page 16 of this months journal.

Nathan built a $10,000,000 a year business with only 16 employees in Grants Pass, Oregon with only $140 and a lot of sweat equity and he believes any of us can do the same. It was fun to interview him and learn some secrets to his success.

I’m really excited to see if the article impacts you as much as it does me.
