On this Boss Up Books episode, Monica discusses Adam Grant's book Think Again. Have you ever got on you soap box and felt that you were right or that the way you do something is really the only way to do it? In this book Adam provides us  with much evidence that we can benefit when we think again. Often landing on a better overall result.  Create a challenge network, hang with people who don't always agree with us and so much more. This is a must read because it challenges you to open your mind.

As an entrepreneur we cannot get stuck in or on one way of thinking or one way of doing something. We may have to pivot in order for our company to survive or do things differently in order to better serve our customers.  Episode Quote - Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. ~ George Bernard Shaw
