Send us a text One of the questions I get most often from people is when should I start looking at pricing. Most experts, myself included will tell you as early as possible. Why? Because you need it to understand the profit story of your business. To understand what it will take to be profitable. To explain to investors, partners, banks and others how effective your business model is. You can't do...

Send us a text "For a long time pricing was this great big mysterious thing. I didn't understand where the numbers came from." If you feel or felt this was then you're not alone.

Your job, one of them, as a business owner is to demystify pricing so that it's not so difficult for you to do. Lea...

Send us a text Avoiding everyone-itis is a better path for most small business owners. Certainly better than being a generalist. "Who's your target customer?" I asked. " Well, anyone."

When it comes to starting or running a business nearly every program, coach or consultant will ask you who are you targeting. There's a re...
