Too many small business owners, salespeople, realtors and insurance agents spend their precious time and marketing dollars on where their next sale will come from instead of finding the source of their sales. It is like asking for a glass of water instead of asking for the well. If you owned the well, you will Continue reading →

Do You Need a Coach or a Cheerleader?

As a business owner or entrepreneur, when asked the question do you need a coach or a cheerleader? How do you respond?
