9 What is your own definition of a successful team / organization / business?

My definition of a successful business is one that serves their clients and does it well. Yes, of course, everyone has to make money but at the end of the day that business is there to help their clients succeed. If my clients are winning and having major success, then so am I.

11 How has the country, you are based in, helped move your industry forward?

I actually didn't have any hindrances that I can think of. The pandemic made my business boom.

I am most excited to see the continued growth AND how AI contributes to our solutions.

14 What resources would you recommend to someone who is searching to improve their business prospects and organizational success?

I always recommend a way to organize leads and contacts (so a good CRM) and a system such as ClickUp or Asana to keep your thoughts and tasks straight.

15 Where do you see the evolution of the overall business industry in the next 5-10 years?

I see it continuing to explode with growth.
