About Me
I believe in the power of visualization. I've seen it transform lives first hand. If you can create a vision of your future, plan the steps to achieve that vision you can make the journey and accomplish it.
When I first started my book on Business Planning it was a daunting, humbling and overwhelming task. I questioned my ability to achieve my vision.
Can I help entrepreneurs fulfill their dreams of business ownership?
Can I write a simple book to guide them thru the process?
Will it be fun and easy enough to keep their attention?
I took my own advice and visualized my dream of sharing the exploration into business ownership by taking the first critical step of making a plan. I sat down and did a modified business plan for a writer. I described my goals, customers and learned about the writing industry. Nothing like taking a dose of your own medicine!
Now I have the clarity and direction that I need to accomplish my dream of helping others to be successful!
Thank you for letting me join you on your journey into a future of business ownership.
