What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
I believe that everyone should have opportunity - opportunity to dream and pursue their dreams and goals. But stuff gets in the way. And usually these obstacles cannot be removed by acting alone. And typically solutions are needed. So I connect and work with people to identify and remove the stuff, and find solutions. Two heads, several heads are better than one. Why do I do this? Because nothing gives me greater joy than seeing someone overcome obstacles, find solutions, and thrive. -
About me
I have started and run five successful businesses - business consulting and coaching, training and staff augmentation, leadership development, software, and a benchmarking/learning program management network. I have experienced as an owner/decision maker the challenges of starting and scaling my own businesses through good times and bad - the recessions of the early 80s, 90s, and 2000s, the Great Recession, and the COVID pandemic. And in addition to taking care of my own businesses, I have simultaneously worked with other businesses to assure their resilience and growth. I think big and take calculated risks - I cashed out of my first business and sailed the oceans for 6 years with my girlfriend (now my wife). Ran very low on money, had a son, moved back to Seattle, and started another business. Had a daughter, adopted another daughter and got tired of the Seattle rain. So I moved to Atlanta and started another business. Have worked with big businesses - Microsoft, Starbucks, BP, Johnson & Johnson, Boeing, NASA, NCR, . . . medium businesses - Nintex, ClearSlide/Corel, Adobe, Tarkett, . . . and my favorite, small businesses - Michael Folks Showroom, Doc Freemans (chandlery), Great Northwest Electric, . . . But the business type is not the point - I work with the business owner or decision-makers in these businesses to take the business where they want it to go. -

Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
1) Are you serious about growing your business?
2) How can you show me that you are serious about growing your business?
3) Okay. You seem serious. Then you must be willing to spend an hour and a half each month with a professionally led group of persons who are as motivated as you are about growing their business. May I refer you to Peter Rogers, the leader-coach of the best of the best in Atlanta?
