As an owner, founder, CEO, president, or some version of several of these titles, at some point in time you made a decision: to start a business – or take the helm of one that already existed.

Read MoreOn any team, each member has a role to play. In your shop, your Customer Service Manager helps customers and works to earn repeat business. Your Custodian keeps the place clean and approachable. Your Office Manager makes sure the business functions. And no one is more capable (or qualified) to diagnose, repair, and rebuild than […]
Read MoreIf you give a sales guy a lead, he’s going to ask for a phone number. When you give him the number, he’ll probably ask you for an email address. When you’re finished, he’ll ask you for a creative pitch. Then he’ll want to set a meeting to make sure he’s on the same page. […]
