R&R
How do you relax? So many owners tend to spend 24/7 on their businesses; this is how they started and it’s become a habit, a bad habit. I was working with a client recently whose business was taking over his life. It was having problems, he was overwhelmed. He had...
Questions
Do we ask enough questions and do we ask the right questions? Whether it’s making a new purchase or working with a client we all need to know the right questions to ask. If you have ever spent time with a 5-year-old or younger they ask all sorts of questions...
