My clients are really good at what they do, but need to sharpen their skills in marketing and sales, organization, time management or productivity. They want to stop reacting to crises and start planning and thinking strategically. They seek to continually improve themselves and raise the bar. They are tired of having their lives run by their businesses and want to have energy and time for their personal lives.

Do these issues sound familiar?

"I've run an interior design company for several years. Staffing is a problem since we either have so much business we can't handle it, or so little that there's not enough to do. It's hard to know whether to hire more full time staff to meet the demands of the busy times or continue struggling with freelancers. How can we get a consistent flow of business we can depend upon?"

"I'm the principal broker at a successful real estate office. Between managing my agents and employees, dealing with last minute problems, closings, advertising, PR, sellers, buyers and attorneys I'm feeling overwhelmed. I don't even have time to check my voice messages or emails. How can I do all of this without driving myself crazy?"

"I'm an experienced architect, but really hate selling; problem is if I don't do it, nobody will. How can I get myself out there and land the projects my firm needs?"

"I'm an insurance agent. I'm not meeting my quota. My manager told me I had to see at least 8 prospects a day. I'm so busy running from appt. to appt. that I'm forgetting to follow through with those who've already expressed interest. Can I do it all?

"My employees seem to lack a sense of urgency and are producing pretty mediocre work. As a result, I find myself doing more myself which is taking me away from my own responsibilities. How do I train and motivate my employees to do things right so I can feel comfortable delegating work to them?

"Our company is growing fast. Although we've got lots of customers we're not making enough money. What are we doing wrong?"

"My partners and I started our firm a couple of years ago. Although business has been OK, we've kind of been running things by the seat of our pants and not really getting anywhere. How can we develop a common vision and a plan to move our company forward?"

"I've been out on my own for several years, and I'm beginning to realize that there's more to running my business than just producing the work. I'm just one person. How do I get a handle on all of the things I need to learn and do to make my business a success?"
