Increased Productivity Starts with 1 Day Off a Week
Today's most dedicated business owners - and many employees too - readily admit they're doing something about their business every day of the week.

How To Reduce Your Cash Flow Problems and Get Paid On Time
How often do you hear business owners complain that their clients are 'slow payers?' Before working with me, one of my clients who has a pool building business, told me that they only asked for a 10% deposit at the start of the project and then invoiced the balance at the end of it.

We changed them from utilitarian to dress accessories...statements of who we are and our importance. But it took the guy on Infinity Circle to really change the keypad and screen.

The Wisdom of the Snapping Turtle
When I was 8 years old, during one of my journeys into the woods, I successfully captured a rather large snapping turtle. I immediately brought him back to my grandparents' house, selected an appropriate box, and made him my official pet. As I was being particularly quiet, my grandfather came onto the back porch to determine what mischief I might be pursuing. I showed him my prize turtle and explained that it was now my pet.
