Success Story
Flourish Horticulture and Landscapes
“Before Propeller, I had a business, but I operated it in more of a lackadaisical way. Ebbs and flows, I was always reactionary. But because of Propeller, I am now thinking more like a CEO or a CFO in terms of business management, instead of just being reactionary in my business.”
