Business Solutions to
Your Problem

(And the Answer To Your Prayers)

By Gary L. Smith

Are you working twenty-five hours a day, eight days a week? You rarely see your family, and when you do make time for your daughter’s dance recital or happy hour with your buds, you’re not there. Not really. You’re thinking about the latest problem and how you’re going to fix it.

Every second of your waking life is spent trying to figure out how to hang on to this fledgling business of yours. You’re busy wearing all your many hats, worrying about making payroll and if Social Security will be enough to keep you in ramen noodles when you retire. 

Who the hell has time to go for the dream when you barely have the time or the money to eat? Can you even remember the dream? Let me refresh your memory. You want the freedom to live, work and express yourself as you choose. You want the power to influence the marketplace, your culture, your community.
