atie Ruff knows that in a small town, everyone does better when everyone does better. As the owner of By the Spoonful, a local food store in McGregor, Iowa, this philosophy plays out on a daily basis. “If my neighboring businesses succeed, I will succeed,” she says. “I view my fellow business owners as co-workers, swapping ideas.” iloveinspired.com \ Fall 2018
