Are you running your business or is it running you?

Are you running your business or is it running you?

Just another day spent working in the business instead of running it like a CEO. Although the day started with hope and good intentions, by the end of the day it was clear that today wasn’t really any different than any other work day. Most small business owners find themselves in this situation, stuck on a runaway train – unable to adapt to changing conditions in the marketplace, unable to get off the train until it runs out of track. Not a pretty picture, but does it have to stay this way? What have others discovered that has enabled them to break free and become the master of their own destiny? Read the full article →

Getting the Right People on Your Team

Getting the Right People on Your Team

As the interview was wrapping up, I thought to myself, “There’s no way this kid will ever work for me.” It wasn’t that the guy looked unusual, he just acted strange. He began the interview by criticizing the color of the walls (which I had painted myself), sat on his feet in the office chair, and had a most unkempt appearance. He just seemed bizarre and I couldn’t imagine adding him to my team. After I had finished interviewing all of the applicants, I looked back over the disappointing résumés. Then I had an epiphany. I remembered something from my HR classes in college that enabled me to hire someone who did a terrific job. Let’s look at two keys that you can use to get the right people on your team.

Is this right?

“Can you help me?” This was the question that I was asked at a recent workshop. My new friend went on to explain that he’d recently doubled the number of people visiting his website but the number of leads that he was getting had stayed the same? As we discussed his situation, I recognized the problem. You see, he was laboring under a common myth, one that I see a lot. Could this myth be hindering your results as well?

How to transform your loyal customers into evangelists for your business.

As I watched loyal customers act as an unpaid sales force at a recent event, I was struck by how predictable it all was. Not predictable in the sense of being boring, but predictable in the sense that this was no accident. What I witnessed was the natural result of faithfully following a certain process. Transforming customers into loyal customers who will then become advocates and evangelists for your business is based on how well you execute 5 factors. Read the full article →

What do growing businesses know that you don’t?

What do growing businesses know that you don’t?

There are two ways a business can grow and prosper in any economy: 1) through sheer luck, or 2) through conscious awareness. The problem with luck, even good luck, is that it doesn’t last forever. Sooner or later it runs out. Conscious awareness in business is a way of life with companies that grow and thrive consistently over time. The secret to their success is that they know that although anyone can get lucky some times, success that lasts is no accident. Growing a business for the long-term is the result of a way of life. Let’s take a look at two metrics that great businesses use to ensure their continued growth. Read the full article →

For over three years, I struggled with websites that broke down, lacked SEO and were not attracting traffic, all with website developers who were difficult to reach or understand. When I asked potential clients how they found me, I kept hoping that just once they would say “through your website”, but that never happened – until I met Charles. Charles has gone above and beyond anything I ever expected from a website...

Working with Charles has moved my business plan from stagnation to launch! Before I started working with Charles I was floundering and frustrated, and had spent months trying to do things on my own. I had a vision for my online business, but the technology demands for setting up my website were beyond my skill level. I also needed guidance on building my list, so I was looking for someone who would do more...

Charles had recently built a new web site for them and they were very happy with it. Charles understood our business right away and was easy to talk to...

Before working with Charles our website was functional, kind of, but flat out ugly! Our hands were full running the day to day operations of our business, with no extra time to overhaul our outdated website. Charles quickly showed us how to improve sales, attract new customers and build trust with our shoppers, making their experience effortless. The process was completely painless and easy...

Last year, my website did not work for me. My customers had multiple problems with the shopping cart. I met Charles in September and hired him to “fix” the website, if possible. He quickly fixed it so that I could add and edit product descriptions and determined that several key features weren’t fixable. Then we began the journey of a new website with a very workable shopping cart. It works! My customers love it! Charles ...

It is true there are many web designers out there and I am sure many are very good at what they do from a technical standpoint. But what was equally important to me was to work with someone with integrity…and who showed genuine concern for the success of my new small business. Charles was able to deliver on every level. I was truly grateful for his invested diligence and exemplary patience. I know he will ...
