Business owners should remain open-minded and take in all the information they can that could benefit their company and lead to a better life for them and their employees. That's what you owe to yourself and the company. By educating yourself about debt, you will gain perspective and clarity on what other options are available for you to grow your business in a way that feels authentic and safe. You would know another way to finance your company's growth without sacrificing control and future profits.

It may seem like a worn-out concept, but don't compare yourself with others in business. Instead, educate yourself, gain perspective, and choose a growth lane that fits your risk tolerance. This will help you sleep better at night, and it will help you feel better about where your company is at.
