Business Strategy

Don’t “Pre-Judge!”

Don’t “pre-judge” outcomes when trying something different in your business. Failing to try something because you somehow “know” in advance that it won’t work will very likely cost you some great opportunities to boost your profits. Not saying you don’t trust your gut or intuition, but there is an evil force called resistance and it […]

Let me explain. For most businesses, their single focus is getting ‘new’ customers. I believe that for the majority of these businesses too many resources and […]


The Power of Being the Authentic You

Many entrepreneurs struggle with their ‘personal’ brand versus their ‘professional’ brand – or perhaps better stated, who they are ‘on the job’ versus who they are ‘off the clock’ – so to speak.
