Get to meet others in the same situation

Life as an entrepreneur can sometimes be a little lonely. Therefore, the five think that it is also nice to get out to meet others in the same situation.

- We primarily use this forum to get to know people, feel energized, exchange experience and help each other with good ideas. We come here with different experiences in running a business, we have different experiences and can benefit from each other, says Stine in SM Training, which helps people with a healthier, healthier and more active life.
