If it feels like everything in your business has gotten more expensive, well, you're right, it has. Right now, 77% of small and mid-sized businesses are experiencing higher costs. Almost everyone's feeling it, even us, and yes, that's a problem. But what's the bigger problem? Well, most business owners are dealing with it the wrong way.
