Business tips from Peter

1. Invest to Grow: To make money, you need to invest money. This includes investing in up-to-date equipment, training for team members and your own personal development.
2. Build Wealth Gradually: Real wealth comes from running a profitable business and wisely managing your profits. Remember, true wealth also means having the discretionary time to enjoy life.
