Business FunDuhMentalsTM
One of the key lessons the past few years have taught us is that it is great to be lucky, but you can't neglect sound fundamentals. Luck runs out; only those with a strong foundation survive. This is true of homeowners who thought they could live beyond their means and banks who thought they cover up risk. It also is true of small businesses who overlooked critical issues because the “going was good.”
What are Business FunDuhMentals?
Fun - What most people like to focus on. Growing revenues. Fun marketing campaigns. Increasing top line contributions to increase the profitability of your company, spanning every area of your company.
Duh - Those pesky steps we “would have done had we known.” Now you can know ahead of time, so you can avoid common miscues that can set your company back or derail your growth efforts. Does your company seem to take two steps forward, one step back? At this rate, in order to move beyond 10 steps, you actually need to move forward a total of 38 steps! Simply minimizing mistakes can nearly quadruple your growth rate even at your current level of effort.
Mentals - As Yogi Berra said, “90% of the game is half mental.” We help you develop a new way of looking at your company, your employees and your role. We also help you instill a new, more productive mindset in your managers and employees. Others call this "culture." This isn't a set of motivational speeches or inspirational passages, but mental approaches supported by concrete steps you can take to overcome problems and grow your company. What's really cool is how quickly these steps result in significant changes.

How Can Focusing on Business FunDuhMentalsTM Help You?
First, I will perform a full "diagnostic" of you company’s ownership policies, management practices, sales and marketing programs, productivity/processes, and accounting procedures. I have developed a systematic process for doing this that is much faster and far less expensive than you might expect.
Second, we identify and discuss causes of bottlenecks – not just symptoms – then prioritize them.
Finally, I help find solutions to the issues we've discovered and lead the execution of new programs to accelerate the growth of your business.
We also can accurately measure the impact of this program on your business. This isn't the same as stereotypical "consulting" where you really don't know if the consultant helped you or just provided window dressing.
