This week, join me in Denver for a live Business Masteries event! Wednesday, August 26, 2009 I could be guiding you personally, one-on-one through some real tips and skill building for your business. Details here: Denver
Why would I jump on a plane, leave my family behind and do this?
My business goal is simple: I want you to have greater success in your business.
What’s the secret in helping you?
It’s also in my ability to ask you the right questions, in the right way, at the right time.
Ask the right questions!
Do you think of yourself as the president of your own company? Do you view yourself as an investment for a company? Do you have a passion to generate the largest financial return for the company of other employee? Do you have a desire to give 10x, 100x, a 1,000x times return to the company you are employed by?
The content I have, wisdom, and insights come from over three decades of experience in interviewing, recruiting, managing, and mentoring individuals to achieve success in their careers and every area of their life.
My ideas, while terrific information, work so well because it is NOT a “quick fix” . . . it’s a journey that every one of us must take. The more success we see in our careers/life the more we know we don’t know. “As a retired architect, I find it’s just like building a sky scraper. We need to have a strong plan and then implement that plan properly. With that we can build and start with a solid foundation. We need to do the right actions, in the right way, over the right period of time.
Our success will only be as strong as our weakest point in the career process. To see success in each area we need to understand and apply the natural laws.
We believe that this is a journey . . . not a destination. We believe, the more we know . . . the more we know we don’t know.
Good reading . . . see you in Denver!

Shattering The Entrepreneurial Glass Ceiling?
We’ve all heard of the corporate glass ceiling. Women and minorities hit it when they vie for the top executive spots in corporations. It’s transparent because many people think it doesn’t exist. It’s glass because many think it’s there but it’s hard to see. When people do break through it into the Vice President or CEO level it’s called “shattering” the glass ceiling.
There is a glass ceiling for entrepreneurs as well. Most experience it, few recognize it and even fewer break through and shatter it. Most entrepreneurs think it doesn’t exist but it does. It is probably the most challenging obstacle in advancement for the single business owner. The Entrepreneurial Glass Ceiling is the point at which the individual can do no more than they have. There is no more time in a day or tasks to take on. Every entrepreneur hits this ceiling.
Why? Every entrepreneur starts, builds and maintains their business by themselves. There are no days off. There are no vacations. When not in the office, work doesn’t get done and productivity suffers. They have a job, not a business. Entrepreneurs may own the business but it owns them.
The glass ceiling differs from person to person. For some it may be 50,000 dollars a year, for others 400,000 dollars a year and others, 2 million dollars. The bottom line is, all reach a point where they cannot physically or mentally do any more. This is the Entrepreneurial Glass Ceiling where profits max out.
In order to shatter the ceiling and expand a business, entrepreneurs have to take radical action. “Radical” action steps are action items outside the normal level of comfort, things that are against our true nature as an entrepreneur. These are things related to the nasty “h” word, “help.”
Entrepreneurs start their business by the shear will of force. They built it themselves and topped it out with their energy, focus and drive. They can’t go any higher. As a matter of fact, they are going to crash and burn, if they haven’t already, from sheer exhaustion.
The real skill in shattering the ceiling is in being willing to take on new, unfamiliar things. They will need help, hands and competent individuals to do the work. Yes, assistance.
The first step in assistance is understanding you need them. This is foreign for most entrepreneurs and unless you come to this conclusion, you will never shatter the ceiling. Second, getting help does not mean adding employees. In fact, that can contribute to the problem. Today the use of virtual assistants, VA’s can be very profitable and successful for the entrepreneur.
Third, VA’s can be carefully chosen, directed to specific tasks and produce results if approached in the right way, with correct planning and with the right firms that provide talent. Think about it, what will it take for you to break through the Entrepreneurial Glass Ceiling? Will you crash and burn or get the assistance you need?

Is your business effective?
How’s your business unfolding this year? Is your business strategy working for you in 2009?
Mine is. Its not easy right now, but there is a science to growing a buisness and making a profit this year.
We’ve crafted the science of business development over two decades of coaching professionals in all different industries, at all levels, all around the world. Do I look like I’m twenty?
If you answer “yes” I will love you but if you answer “No” I know you are very smart. We teach youThe Science of Success and any company, any entreprenuer can utilize them to create a culture of excellence, success and profits.
Instant profits and six figures in 90 days can go to h_ _ _ l. This is real business expertise for today, tomorrow and 10 years from now.
It is a journey, not a single destination. Nor is it empty promises.
As you educate your employees and staff members about The Science of Success you will see greater profitability, less turnover, greater teamwork, and a host of other benefits. Our entire development team and worldwide network of clients and professional partners have strived to make the science easy to understand and simple to use.
The three-step process to The Science of Success is:
Step 1. The Examination
Step 2. The Solution(s)
Step 3. The Implementation of Those Solutions
Surpised? You shouldn’t be. But most of you will be. Why? Most of you think there might be a magic potion for breaking through to new levels of business. Well, there isn’t. But there are proven steps. We approach business like a doctor. And, just like a doctor, we would never present a solution without doing a thorough examination of you or your business, first.
Anyone who is presenting solutions without doing a thorough examination first is selling you something rather than seeking what’s best for you.
We do three steps for you:
Step 1. Complete an effective examination. This step may involve a simple, short series of questions, or it may entail a much more comprehensive, thorough examination. It’s really up to you. We’ll even ask you.
Step 2. Present a solution(s).
Clients often receive information on a basic, an intermediate, and an advanced plan for success based on Step 1, the examination. Which plan you pursue is your choice.
Step 3. Implement the best solution.
Some clients have a great sense of urgency and want to implement a solution immediately. Others take their time and ease into their new strategy. It is all up to you.
Will you take you business to the next level. Or, are you hitting the entreprenurial glass ceiling?
