Growing Business

Like any gardener would tell you (or at least I speculate typing here with my plant-killing thumbs) it takes time to nurture a seed into a strong, vibrant plant. It’s been well documented that nurturing has a role in the economic development realm as well. I read this piece by Stefanie Murray of the Ann Arbor News and was thrilled to see the model extending to the retail market locally. The idea of striking out on your own with a product that people want is as old as our economy, and providing flexibility to such entrepreneurs just seems to make good business sense.
