Financial Position
You don't want suprises. You want consistency and the ability to adapt to changes effectively. Having a strong financial plan and strategy in place guarantees your certainty in meeting change. Knowing your credit options, your investment standing, your cash flow, lets you make good decisions.

Business Plan
It's your plan of action, your guide. It needs to be a working document that meets your changing environment and needs. It keeps you focused.

Qualified Leads
Something a whole lot stronger than a "referral". A qualified lead is a referral or contact my organization makes, works with directly to pinpoint the need, and then brings it to you for a proposal. We work closely with you to make it all come together.
Insurance and Health Care Strategies
Workers compensation, health insurance, business insurance-- call a company, buy a policy. That's a "cookie cutter" strategies and its not effective in today's business climate. You need to plan carefully, know how to cut the costs and understand alternatives. Why should they be-- they are often commission driven. Have your strategy and your needs all in place and then buy what you know you need.

Self-Employed Individuals
This is often the first step in becoming a business owner. You either left a prior employer or you have a product you are selling. In either case its really just you doing the work. You don't have employees or other people involved. Self-employed individuals often work from home and have strong family or spouse support. Needs often focus around effective use of time when working from home and meeting family needs. Tax and health strategies focus around the self-employed individual and family exclusively.

Small Business Employers
I define a small business employer as an individual that has a team in place made up of employees, associates, sub-contract labor, etc. Basically any entity that has people involved to bring a service or product to a client. A small business employer has additional concerns that a self-employed individual may not, including: payroll taxes, insurance, health care, etc.

We provide Small Business Guides with "TO DO LISTS" for: setting up a small business, hiring your first employee, getting a loan, finding clients, getting health insurance, etc. Use our "TO DO LISTS" first and then call me if you need more specifics.

Marketing and Advertising Strategies
Small business promotion has very different metrics from corporate branding and advertising. Marketing includes the "Four Ps": product, price, place and promotion. Those basic concepts need to be scaled and updated for today's small business strategy.
