THE THINGS WE'VE DONE, seeN & hearD

Most businesses large and small have a contact page.  But what good is it when you don't check to see who is contacting you.  The amount fo small business who ask us what they are doing wrong.  The number one item we find is lack of communication with your basic customer.

Ever heard the saying that Discount Tire is actually in the logistics business not the tire business? Well in order to gain more customers you have to understand exactly what you customer is looking for.

Focus. Focus. Focus - The best in the world all have one thing in common they Focused.

We hear this all too often. "My team is amazing, I have wonderful employees who care, I love my employees........." but do you really understand what they want.  A CEO, a good CEO listens let's those amazing employees be great.  A good CEO knows how to empower their best people not steal their spotlight.

Imagine as a CEO leaving early on a Wednesday because your team is that capable!  You will never know unless you empower your team and employees to think for themselves without the threat of rebuke for doing so.  We all say we do this but it is really hard to do as a founder, CEO or Board member.

We hear this all the time.  I have to own 95% of my company.  Screw the investors they haven't bled like I have..........Well actually they have.  They're pretty good at what they do and without them you aren't getting your company funded.  Time to take a breath and realize you can be very successful with a little less ego and less equity.  You will do just fine.

Well, don't!
