Often we focus on each part of the entrepreneurship journey as if they are all separate pieces, but the truth is that all of the parts of the experience fit together seamlessly. Transitioning from step to step is as important as each of the steps themselves.
That’s why this week’s Gig economy features articles that can help you along each part of your business’ evolution and your development as an entrepreneur.
