About 9 years ago my daughter asked me to help her launch a new fitness concept called Kor180 (The workouts combined cardio and strength training to burn 800 calories in a 45-minute workout). About 4 years ago my ex-wife enlisted my skills to help her launch a new gift boutique concept called Emprizo (Unique gifts and gifting advice you can't get anywhere else).

By that time we’d built up a 7-location indoor tanning salon chain. I was advising a hand full of small business owners, for free, but I wasn’t really building a consulting business.

I was still worried about whether people would see the value in what I had to offer (I know, it’s CRAZY looking back, but I was pretty insecure about my value even though I had PROOF my business systems worked for other people in a variety of niches).

Then I had an epiphany. The systems we were using in my three business concepts were working so well that they were BEGGING me to convert them over into my Dark Horse Secrets Employee Management System to grow any small business (which after 7 years of development had grown into the business growth tools it is today).

Those tools have gone on to change dozens of lives by making all aspects of creating a business system fast and easy.

The funny thing is, even though I’d done so well, I had to learn to teach people how to execute proven business systems. (Notice I say “execute” and not merely “create”—massive imperfect action is necessary if you want your business to grow.)

I realized I had taken on a new challenge—and I still had some learning to do myself. I hate to admit it, but I was more than a little scared, especially when people started referring to me as the business systems expert. I felt, and still feel, a little uncomfortable with that.

The first thing I started doing was documenting my systems, blogging about business systems, getting published in trade journals, and analyzing and critiquing other people’s business systems.

Even though most small business owners don't realize they need systems, many already have informal systems in place.

In December 2020, I published an Amazon #1 best seller called Recruit, Hire, and Retain Superstar Part-Time Employees which is a series of three interrelated business systems to find, employ, and keep competent, qualified, and motivated people (It was the basis for Superstars Wanted).

Now I'm producing and delivering books, workbooks, action guides, blog posts, and webinars on all sorts of business systems.

I've spent years really sharpening my saw every single day transforming what I knew about business systems into practical steps, advice, and know-how that would work for any and every type of small business you could imagine:

You name it, I can help put together business systems to grow any small business!

So now, after thousands of hours of study, research, thinking, and helping others, I feel very confident that I can take a look at anybody’s business and figure out what’s working and what needs fixing.

We have also helped dozens of people with their business systems over the last 2 years with my tools, training, and resources.

I honestly feel like I’m living my life’s purpose right now!

Pretty cool, right? :-)...

But don't just take my word for it...
