I started thinking on everything that awaits them and the intentions that are shared during wedding vows. It hit me that most of our important life events […]
Wade Into Profitable Waters
I recently had the opportunity to present Profit First to a group of business owners in Philadelphia. After the talk, several told me they were re-energized about trying to get Profit First working in their business. Unfortunately, their stories were ones of failed attempts.

Check the Clock – It’s Time for a Vacation!
When Mike Michalowicz, my friend and mentor, first discussed the idea of Clockwork with me, I won’t lie and tell you I wasn’t nervous. The idea of letting some things go and allowing other people to step in and handle them felt scary. I mean, as a business owner some things can only be done […]
