Sometimes it takes just a nudge…
to make things happen.

I have a lot to say… but most of what I talk about surrounds business, entrepreneurship, books, and personal development because if you want to be a business owner with any size of business (1 person to 100) you need to be well-rounded, self-aware, and strategic. Years and years of learning how to run and grow a business has given me a bucket-load of insights, lessons, advice, and tactics. Everyone can start a small business and thrive. But, it’s not an innate or natural set of skills or behaviors. Some pop-biz writing suggests that you need only be tenacious, driven, passionate… and any number of behavioral qualities. And, to be sure, it’s good to have those qualities but true business success comes from real skill building in qualities that can most definitely be learned. Some are mundane, some unfamiliar, and others difficult: data, accounting and finance, purchasing, pricing, writing, communication, marketing, leadership, empathy, sales, and research, to name just a few. I hope you’ll find some nuggets of help for your entrepreneurial journey.
