Other Programs & Highlights
Do you own you business, or does it own you...?
Few entrepreneurs are the independent free-spirits their friends envision.
You have debt, risk, and worries--all too often, lots of worries. You work long hours, are thinking about work even when you shouldn't, take on more responsibilities than any eight-to-fiver could ever imagine, and you love it. It's all yours.
I understand your pride and sense of accomplishment. And having owned and operated nine businesses and having climbed to the very top ranks of corporate America as a VP in a Fortune 500 company, I understand how business and personal success are closely entwined. And I understand how lonely it can be at the top.
Even with the worries, long hours, risks, and challenges, self-employment can be richly rewarding. I salute your accomplishments, and I encourage you to never lose sight of your vision.
Are you living the life you envisioned?
Success goes beyond staying afloat.
Generating profits, creating financial strength, dominating chosen markets, and maximizing your sustainable growth may all sound like success--but be careful. These are not success…they are simply the prerequisites to success. True business success is being able to live the life of your dreams.
My goal is to help you do just that: to stay focused on true success; and to help you get there as rapidly and as safely as possible.
Do you own your business...are you living the life you envisioned?
