“Stop comparing the inside of you to the outside of someone else!” Seriously! This was one of the best pieces of advice I ever received from my mentor and coach, Lou Tice, many years ago. Stop it! I am convinced that there would be many more millionaire business owners if everyone would stop and recognize…
Have you ever thought to yourself: “that’s so simple – I just assumed everyone knew/did that?!!” It happens to me often because I have some basic, simple, success steps that I follow in my personal and professional life that, quite frankly, I have often assumed that most people knew about and executed.

“I’ve done everything I can to grow my business! I don’t know what else to do.” Have you ever felt that way, especially as the summer months loom ahead? As an entrepreneur, it’s normal to feel stuck at times. No one is ‘on’ all the time. There are days and there are times when most…
