Getting clients is key to our staying in business. But getting clients can present a challenge from time to time. So how can we get creative and get clients? Let me share a story with you. Several months ago our shower door in our bathroom broke. The handyman we had at the time said we would have to order a custom made shower door and that it would be very expensive and suggested we just put up a shower curtain and make that work. When another handyman had started working for us, I mentioned our shower door and he looked

Are You Over Complicating Your Business

Did you know that over-complicating things is one of the biggest hurdles we have to overcome in business? Well, I don’t know about you, but I can so over-complicate things! It’s so easy to get started going in too many directions, doing too many things at once, which leads to overwhelm and frustration that we feel in our businesses. Have you ever experienced this?

What Does A Hurricane And Your Business Have In Common

We have just gone through hurricane Florence here in Charlotte, NC and even though it was not as bad here as forecast, it went through extremely slow leaving a massive amount of rain. Thank God we kept our power and no down trees in our yard, but other parts of Charlotte were hit pretty hard. However the eastern part of our state in Wilmington, New Bern, and other coastal areas and some inland areas have been devastated. Please pray for their recovery. When Florence was approaching as a Category 4 she was traveling at a faster rate of speed going

Presenting your Services: Who’s Making the Decision?

Everyday you make many decisions. You’re given choices and based on your thoughts and reasoning, you make your decision. However I think one of the biggest decisions (and mistake) we business owners make is: Making the decision FOR our viewer, prospects, clients. We do this based on what we know or really what we THINK we know about our market/ideal clients and what they want or can afford.
