What Does a CEO Do?
When asked what a CEO do the answer might vary from individual to individual, even among CEO’s themselves. The short answer is an easy one; everything. The long answer is as complicated as business itself. I hate complications so- as is my wont, I will try to break it down as simply as possible.

The reasons are as varied as the responsibilities that come with the job description. Most CEOs have the feeling that their job is fund raising, and while that is one important aspect of a CEO’s work the job

Beating the Blame Game
Whom do we blame when we fail? The short answer is "everyone but ourselves."

It’s been a month with no sales! Do I sack my sales manager?
A sales manager, or more appropriately, 'sales leader' is a key leadership role in any sales driven organisation.

BRIC Countries: Unified in their Hatred of the Dollar
The BRIC ETF (EEB) and the US dollar have an inverse relationship; that is when the dollar is going down, the BRIC ETF is going up and vice versa. So it makes sense that some of the BRIC countries would like us to have a weak dollar. But yet we always hear that China is concerned about our weak dollar? What gives? What do they want from the dollar?

Is This Stock Market Rally Believable?
I admit I am far too guilty of trying to rationalize what my eyes are seeing as the market seems to defy gravity and continues to move higher.

The Secrets to Small Business Success
I was delivering a one-on-one coaching call tonight and my client asked me the question of, 'How did you become so successful so fast?' and at first I paused and thought about that. How did I become successful in just three and a half short years? The first thing I thought of was, 'Am I successful?' and that question alone could have taken me ten minutes to think about an answer to so instead of ponder that, I moved on. I thought about what I had done over the course of my time in business and I thought about what had allowed me to achieve so much in such a short time.

Your Life or Your House: Key Questions to Ask Yourself If You’re Facing an Underwater Mortgage
We aren't assuming that there's a one-size-fits-all answer to the question of what to do if you're dealing with an underwater mortgage. You're going to want to factor in a lot of different criteria before you decide whether to keep the house, try to short sell it, or walk away and foreclose on it. These are big decisions and they have consequences. Kristin and I know-we've been there! We decided on a combination of foreclosures and short sales to save our family's financial future (we are Realtors and had invested pretty heavily in residential real estate), but those routes may not be the best ones for you and your family.
