How can I relate this episode to building the bar that I own? I love helping people by offering a nice space to throw celibrations, birthdays, retirements, celebration of life etc. I'm having trouble expanding our clientele.

My name is Matt, my husband and I own a small corner bar in Oshkosh, WI called The Lyons Lounge Oshkosh. We carry this product and are having great success selling it. We are alway looking for ways to grow our business and expand our customer base as we have only owned it 2.5 years. I listen to your podcast daily and love what you share. Thank you for inspiring me to keep working at it. I have 30 years in the Wisconsin dept. of corrections and will retire at 51 in about 1.5 years.
