Starting a business is a wonderful, risky, rewarding challenge!

One needs to quickly get their footing managing their time and finances or the demands of life with a business will sweep them away. Unfortunately, the statistics of how many survive for the long term are not as good as I would like them to be. And that means people in trouble. There are many causes of this, from instabilities in the owners' lives to a product or service that doesn't quite fit the market, to competitors who come along and steal the show. My direction is to coach business owners to build a solid foundation from which to take opportune risks, resulting in stable businesses that can employ more people and provide for their families.  

I start with ensuring solid personal foundations, then progress to business foundations, risk preparation, and growth.

I've currently chosen to focus efforts to developing the social gaming and eSports industry in my area, because of the overlapping need for jobs and stress reduction, and the opportunities. As a result, for now the trailers I am using with these courses lean into web novel, anime, and gaming types of themes. If that's not you - just laugh! The content is appropriate to learners outside of this space too.
