Everyone experiences anger.  We’re biologically wired to become angry in response to potential threats. Anger is often triggered by an event or memory.

Small business owners often experience a high level of pressure and isolation. While at times the opportunity to be one's own boss and grow a business can be energizing, at other times it can feel overwhelming.
