Must have an organized strategic plan and not shoot from the hip. Staying on the plan will keep us organized and focused. This is always a challenge for small business owners, who wear many hats.

I think the critical thing for me would be not who the staff is or what one's feelings may be about success, but to organize the plan to see if the business would be sustained over a period of 5-10 years and the strategy behind it. The key financial piece is forefront, can it be sustained...

I think the critical thing for me would be not who the staff is or what one's feelings may be about success, but to organize the plan to see if the business would be sustained over a period of 5-10 years and the strategy behind it. The key financial piece is forefront, can it be sustained without major risk to oneself. This sometimes is very hard to see when we are very close to the subject and have our own agenda of wanting the success. We must have experts outside of our inner circle to give us the hard facts.
Well, good comments back, I'm Greek Orthodox and my family came from Greece, so I'm first generation in this country. My parents faced the same struggles raising us. I suggest there may be something else at play, perhaps admitting your possible failings to her (if you have great), and then...

Well, good comments back, I'm Greek Orthodox and my family came from Greece, so I'm first generation in this country. My parents faced the same struggles raising us. I suggest there may be something else at play, perhaps admitting your possible failings to her (if you have great), and then seeking the council of priests to help with this calamity too. Many times as scripture says "we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities in high places", meaning we see with our eyes the natural world, but there is an equal opposing spirit world at play- mid life crisis? I don't think so. Pick up the bible, fast and pray and seek Christ's help, one way or another you will find the answer. Best, Maria
I suggest you diversify, perhaps having in your store other items that the tourists would be drawn to, you have the children's clothing also, this way the potential buyers may see something really cute and grab to go with their souvenirs. Partnering is critical for you, that way you will keep...

I suggest you diversify, perhaps having in your store other items that the tourists would be drawn to, you have the children's clothing also, this way the potential buyers may see something really cute and grab to go with their souvenirs. Partnering is critical for you, that way you will keep costs down and could get a percentage from the partners you have in the store.
Hi new name which is not "terrified", but "facing it" and moving past the lie. The negative voices that we hear most of the time about ourselves are lies. I suggest don't believe you are an "introvert". Anyway what the heck does that mean? Who made that word up? Why should we believe it? All...

Hi new name which is not "terrified", but "facing it" and moving past the lie. The negative voices that we hear most of the time about ourselves are lies. I suggest don't believe you are an "introvert". Anyway what the heck does that mean? Who made that word up? Why should we believe it? All you need is to believe that the idea about who you are may be false. I believe coaching helps. I'd be happy to coach for one hour free of charge. Just call me at 703-475-1500 or email me at maria@leopardmediagroup.com. Best, Maria
I think ToysRUS and SEARS, I was sorry to see them go. It is a lesson to all businesses small or large, in today's global economy and robust competition, to keep reinventing and examining our business model(s) and relationships with stakeholders.

My favorite customer story has been working with the Disabled American Veterans, DAV over the years. Getting to know their intimate stories of struggle when they returned from the battlefield. Brave men and women, who sacrificed for their country to come back with missing limbs, PTSD and great hardships to return back into society. I will always hold their testimonies close to me, which helps to remind me of not only how precious life is, but also to respect and admire the men and women that serve in our military.
Nicole, sounds like you have very good questions. I'd suggest doing a short call/survey with your current clients-- ask them these questions, let them know you are asking so that you may take your company to the next level. Also, I suggest seeking out your competition, finding out what they...

Nicole, sounds like you have very good questions. I'd suggest doing a short call/survey with your current clients-- ask them these questions, let them know you are asking so that you may take your company to the next level. Also, I suggest seeking out your competition, finding out what they offer and how they retain their client base, this will take some intel. Key for you is to stay close to your area of expertise. That way the feedback will be relevant. Also, your field is highly competitive and needs validation from others in your field of influence and stakeholders that actually SAVED $$ with your guidance and skills. Finally, I'd suggest contacting CPA and asking if they will refer customers that may not be able to afford their level of service. There are so many CPA firms out there that I'm sure will help guide you. Contact Huey & Associates in Fairfax and ask if they will refer you. Best, Maria Brazda
