In this brief interview segment, Chrissy Myers asks a fellow speaker for practical advice that small business owners can apply today to improve their operations by 1%. The speaker emphasizes a mindset shift toward integrity and long‑term relationship building rather than chasing immediate cash flow. While a single day’s 1% gain may not be obvious, consistently prioritizing ethical behavior and sustainable partnerships compounds over time, delivering far greater growth than short‑term profit‑focused actions.

What piece of advice would you give small business owners so that they could get 1% better in their business today?
1% today. I wanna say like integrity, it's the long game. So maybe that's just a mindset shift of like today it's not about the $25 today or the $2,500 today. It's about the relationships and the long game. Like, and that's maybe not a 1% shift today, but over time that's way more than a 1% shift in your business if you can focus on something that's not just about you and it's not just about today.
