Evan I am so excited to have the opportunity to chat with builders working in a small business setting! Thanks for setting this up. In my work as head app builder at a small non-profit, I find my biggest struggle is launching an application that can meet the needs of such a diverse scope of work. Thanks to QuickBase and it's incredibly flexibility, I created 100% customized apps for our teams. Usually, I approach this by engaging our direct users early on to understand their needs and how I can implement them into the QB app of their dreams. The process, while time consuming at first, is essential in building efficiency long term. However, I have yet to formalize a way to build resiliency and would love to hear what other builder's have experienced.
To get through all the building and planning, I have two soundtracks. For when I am just about to give up, Queen and Freddie Mercury to the rescue. When I am energized and ready to keep going, I throw in a little Egyptian folk music for flavor.

Welcome to the Small Business Roundtable community thread. Collaborate here with your SMB peers, share best practices, and learn how others are maximizing the power of Quick Base.
Tell us a bit more about your own experiences in SMB (there are a few example questions below or you can feel free to talk about what is bringing you to the SMB Roundtable):
- What is the biggest struggle with implementing new software applications in SMB environments?
- What types of approaches have you taken to work through these struggles?
- How do you build resilience into your planning?
Also we would love to know a bit more about you, the Roundtable can be a great way to network and get to know other builders in your space (some example questions below):
- If you could see any musician living or dead in concert who would be it be? Would it be a specific concert at a specific time?
- What is a song/album that you use to help you get pumped up or focused when taking on a new project?
