EPISODE B3.002: Processes Under Control, Finally!

Introduction
New week, same perspective with greater conviction.

After being attentive to the weekend news about the continued arbitrary government response to COVID19, there is only one course for the business owner - ignore their word salad of concern and work around it. 

Being passive and waiting for the right decision will put you out of business. There are only two ‘people’ who have that right - you and the customer.

IBGR is committed to your success and our programming is for legal aggression (OK, I’ll make it nicer - assertiveness) to open, stay open, and be profitable.

Unlike the rest of society - we have your back.
