I am doing some investigation of my own and see what the people of the forum have to say about their own challenges they have faced with running their business.

It could be literally anything from -
Hiring,
Managing your Team,
Procrastination,
etc

Just want to know what you struggles you faced and what you did to overcome if you did or if you are still failing to address the issue.

Thanks
