I love new businesses! I love the creative side of coming up with an idea and making it your own. The energy and time it takes to create something new can either be exhilarating or exhausting. Here is a hard truth: Businesses make income. I see so many people have a passion for something creative. It may be making something with their own two hands like a piece of jewelry, culinary delights or furniture....

Our phones, watches, cars and Bluetooth devices surround us with ease of information and access to connection. It's a wonderful thing! Or is it?

As business owners, we know sometimes that the struggle is REAL! Entrepreneurship is not for the light hearted, and it takes time (sometimes years!) to make a business thrive.

It may be easy to say something like "because I don't have as many sales as I would like." While that may present itself as a negative financial outcome, it doesn't exactly identify why your business is struggling....

As a Commercial Real Estate Broker, and owner of a firm in Kansas, I get this question ALL the time! There isn't a lot of training available to help understand the commercial side of real estate. Many licensed real estate agents have a focus on residential transactions, but they have built great relationships with clients who may own a business. …...
