7 Red-Hot Realities
Not a day goes by that I don’t hear someone wishing for the good old days to return. The days when business was booming, people were buying and the economy was strong. Life was so good back then they lament, as they stare off into space dreaming about days of yore. Wake up! Is my…

Business SOS – Call before you’re Critical
The joy and satisfaction that comes from being able to help companies navigate and rejuvenate in these interesting times we live in gives me nothing but pleasure and pure inspiration.

Girl Power – Women Roar!
It’s astounding that we live in such a dynamic time of magic and marvel, change and creation and still have women being ignored, dismissed or not taken seriously in the mainstream marketplace. This is pathetic. Why? Why are so many companies, organizations and individuals not recognizing the brilliance, power, equality or superiority women have as…
Truth Or Torment – Extended Warranties
What an amazing time we live in. Never before have consumers had such a broad choice in selection of goods or services from which to choose. Retailers from around the globe and in our own communities all vying for that vote from the customer. The vote of where they decide to spend their money and…
