Tell us about yourself

I founded urban Nature Store due to my firm personal rage for wild bird. A passion that I first developed as a modest male child, was when my mother encouraged me to feed, watch and appreciate our local backyard birds. It is this heat that continues to drive me today. My actual wages is talking with customers and seeing the formula on their faces when they have just taken up the hobby and are enjoying their backyard birds for the first prison term or they are excited because they just attracted a new dame to their self-feeder. The wages is knowing I am helping people and families appreciate and enjoy local bird and nature .

What’s your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

As a businessperson, one big skill is merely being able to stay in business, but it is never a one-man prove. My veridical skill has been bringing in concert an excellent group of team members who are knowing, dedicated, and parcel my rage for birding.

What’s one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

There are many challenges that a commercial enterprise owner faces including continuing to finance their business, the administrative paperwork, and selecting and hiring the best people. For me, the hardest thing is dedicating time to “ administrative operations ” when I would rather be spending my time talking with my customers and birding enthusiasts .

What are the top tips you’d give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Don’t try to grow too fast……focus on slower and stronger growth.
You are only part of “the team”, always focus on your TEAM.
Don’t get distracted by day-to-day challenges, they will always come up, but don’t let them over-take your longer-term planning.

Where can people find you and your business?
