Summary

There is no business that starts from ease and fun. It is from hardships that successful business owners gain quantifiable experiences that allow them to use the obstacles they encounter to grow. Michael Alden always knew he wasn’t a big fan of the “If only I had” syndrome. As he was envisioning his first business, Michael was also planning for positive impact on people’s lives. Nine years later, he and his company were able to do that. Michael Alden shares his story of starting a business, the struggles along the way to success, and how they kept true to their core values.
