The woman I’m working with today once introduced me as, “the woman who could find money under rocks.” While I’m not sure about that, more than once I’ve been compared to a “depression child” regarding my quick eye for identifying both waste and opportunity.

What Business Owners MOST Need to Hear
I talk to, work with and guide in various capacities hundreds of business owners each week. Depending on how long they’ve been in business or how serious they are about business, they present with different “problems” or issues. TIME CHALLENGES — “help me prioritize and strategize..

A Top Failure Strategy of Too Many Business Owners
Quick warning / plea: If you’ll permit me another Bible lesson for your business, I promise you’ll count it among one of the most beneficial things you’ll read all week.

I get questions from really savvy people who want me to tell them if I think their website, business card, direct mail piece, or some other marketing collateral is working. Before I go on, I want to be very candid and say that I welcome these questions. But, while I’m being candid, I also have
