Payment Options I Accept
One of the TOP problems I too frequently come across in my work is one that — frankly — seems to be the hardest to “cure” and it’s all about PAYMENT OPTIONS you accept. I keep it really simple in my business. You can pay me with cash, check or charge. If you’re paying with

The #1 Reason We Discount Our Talents

Today, I’m 36 Years Old!
