ABOUT the Power of Getting RED.HOT

Got business overwhelm?

 

Maybe you’ve got stress, challenges, problems, situations, drama, chaos…

Maybe some of them are critical to your bottom line like contract issues, agreements with clients, pricing, and scope of work issues.

Some of them might just be productivity issues or assistant problems or vendor situations.

Sometimes it’s as simple as getting overwhelmed and stressed-out because you don’t know which thing needs to be addressed first or where the best place to focus your attention is.

What you need is a trusted advisor.

Someone who can see the whole picture.  Someone who can provide good solid advice.

And not just the kind of advice that’s generic and vague but the kind of advice that includes action steps, step-by-step solutions and you need it to be clear and concise.

With 20 years of starting, owning, operating small businesses, I can honestly say I’ve been there and I’ve had to do it because it was my job.

I’ve spent 20 years putting out fires, managing clients and vendors, hiring and firing employees and clients, writing contracts, managing budgets and inventory, writing policies and procedures, training, managing cash flow, dealing with delays in product, manufacturing goods and payment.  The list goes on and on.

And, here’s the thing… it comes naturally.

We’ve all had the one friend that everyone seeks out for advice.  The one who always seems to have the answers… yeah, that’s me… I’ve been that friend since I was in grade school.

I used to think I’d make a great bartender!

But it is the very reason that when my father restarted his construction business he wanted me to help him do it and it is the same reason that I still put out the fires for them today.

When all the details become overwhelming for most people I’m still asking for more of them.

It’s who I am, it’s what I do.  I love my role and my work.  The bigger the challenge, the happier I am.  I accept fully that I’m a “fixer”… I can’t help myself.

The thing is, however, I’m not for everyone.

I’m extremely focused and decisive.  I tell it like it is.  I’m clear and concise and provide sequentially organized solutions.  That means I have a tendency to organize my thoughts and strategy into “a then b then c” lists.  My friends call me “no nonsense”, “forthright”, “practical” and “intuitive” but really all the answers are in the details, we just need to dig them out.

Finally, I bring myself to the table 100% every time.  That means that I work hard and directed on your unique challenges.  It also means I like to laugh.  It means I sometimes use my experiences as examples.  And, well it means you’ll hear about my dogs and cupcakes because I really like cupcakes.

If you really want all the sordid details of my business and education past… check out my Linked-in profile, it’s all really boring except for the part where I worked at Playboy Enterprises in L.A.

Oh, but enough about me…
