The decision to grow

I’ll be honest. After having run Tapprs as professionally as possible and after having tackled quite a few issues successfully in a short span of time, I felt we had done fairly well. And that all will be rosy and cozy in future. We just needed to push the pedal harder. Everything will fall into […]

Hare or the tortoise?

Tapprs is growing! Honestly, I didn’t think it would take off much. Out of my frustration of not being able to figure out what I wanted to pursue as a business, I simply started something whimsically.
