As a small business marketing consultant and an executive coach, I sit down with a lot of different people and businesses. It is fascinating for me to listen to others tell me about all their hopes and dreams along with stories of how they have spent their whole life working towards their goals. It is an inspiration to hear of overcome struggles and captured opportunities.

However, over the course of my career helping small business owners grow and succeed, I have also heard a lot of excuses and sob stories. Most people that come to me already need help. My job has become more and more about helping business owners work through obstacles before even beginning to talk about growing their company.
