Risk-Free Consultation
My goal is to help small businesses succeed, while succeeding myself. As one step on that road, I would like to offer you a risk-free half-hour consultation. Let's discuss the biggest challenge you're facing in business, your most recent 'learning experience' (some call them mistakes), or your dreams for your career and yourself. Let me convince you of my ability to understand your issues quickly and offer practical guidance to help you succeed.
My usual fee is $50 per half-hour. If, at the end of our discussion, you don't feel that I've helped, you keep your check.
Regardless, I also sincerely ask for your honest feedback, and the right, if I choose, to include that feedback here on my website and in my book (credited to you, or anonymous; your choice.)
Please call toll free (877) 771-7746 or email Book@CommonsenseEntrepreneur.com (or use the contact form) to arrange your risk-free half-hour consultation by phone, email, or letter, or if you're in the Roseville/Sacramento area, in person at your place of business.
Another Free Offer!
We'd love to give you some free advice. Just email us a question, or a description of the issue you're facing, and we'll offer some ready-to-use suggestions and the reasons behind them. All we ask is your permission to re-print the essence of the Q&A.
