What do you when you go in your front yard in the morning and find 3 chicken lounging? BBQ plans or shoo them away? Need your guidance 🤣
receipt for a flight from @AlaskaAir you took >48 hours ago? on website? NO! wait on the phone for 5-7 hours (quoted estimate) or PAY 20$ to file a ticket. Why would I ever book my business trip on Alaska again if I can't expense the trip? #fail alaskaair.com/content/travel…

It's super important we understand the microbusiness. Unlike SMBs, they often have 10 employees or less, and if their venture isn’t working out they don’t go away like a larger business would. They adapt, create, and move on to the next best thing. Their resilience keeps us going
