I had a man tell me once that I would be the same person in 10 years as I was today with the exception of the books that I read and the people I had met.
Over the years I have had many mentors who’ve “poured into me”, preparing me to help you now.
Pure unvarnished advice is easy to spot. In fact, Winston Churchill once said: “Truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it. Ignorance may deride it. Malice may distort it. But there it is.”
In serving small business owners, I want them to know the truth and to give them solid, actionable advice based on truth and facts.
For example: A lot of local marketing DOES NOT require you to market on Google or even to have a website.
This is uncommon advice. In fact, much of what is wrong with marketing and advertising a local business today is just wrong, leading to a lot of confusion, wasted efforts, lost capital and heartache.
This road began for me the day I discovered that the marketing director of my first tech company had given us a load of bad advice which cost us a small fortune on campaigns that never produced any customers.
The truth is that getting customers today is the same as it was 40 years ago. Human behavior hasn’t changed; the tools and technology have, but people buy from people that they know, like, and trust.
On these pages I will show you how to do it.
When Business Owners Ask Me Who I Am, I’ll Tell Them That I Am A Christ Follower, An Entrepreneur And An American Patriot
Christ Follower
I‘m not a religious person but as a Christ Follower, I know that the word of God is inerrant and coming true in front of my eyes.
I’m a water baptized believer in Jesus Christ but unless you start a conversation about it, I’ll never mention it.
My mandate is to love God and to love my neighbor as myself. You’re my neighbor.
Entrepreneur
I have owned and operated my own businesses since 1998, while being willing to accept outside employment while I pursued growth and success.
I’ve seen things done correctly and have witnessed things being done poorly. Nothing excites me more than competing with myself to accomplish my goals and to help others accomplish theirs.
Patriot
I have a deep, tireless belief in the United States; I’m not talking about politics either, I advocate for the freedom that allows us to succeed and achieve a dream life.
