RURAL DEVELOPMENT

GoodMuscle, Emporia, Kansas

Starting is easy but continuing to grow and improve and survive requires reflection and self-evaluation. Don't be afraid to jump. Don't be afraid to switch lanes. Do not care what others think about you. Most importantly, don't be afraid to put in the work. -- Alex Benjamin, Emporia State University SBDC client and Owner, GoodMuscle
