Modern Small Business
Welcome to our Leadership Blog
Life, Love & Business – it's a phrase we often use to explain the everyday interconnection between our business lives and our personal lives — all for the purpose of protecting and providing for those we love and nurturing our key relationships.
Our experience is most people want to be better people, to run better businesses and be better able to contribute to their communities and families in more meaningful ways. At its core of course, is the drive of leadership; who you are when nobody is looking, what you believe (and what you don't) who you value, what you support, and how you choose to show up in the world around you. Leadership is how we live (and work) with purpose and become that change we want to see in the world around us.
Our Modern Small Business Blog is for people who want to actively grow themselves, their businesses, and their community – so they can all live a bigger life.
“Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision”

Have you considered the increased risks of working with multiple business owners?
Being in business is about finding a way to work well with others.
This is essential if you want to increase your skills, broaden your reach, extend your creativity or just amplify your ability to deliver a needed product or service to your customer.
It's common knowledge that working with others in your business can accelerate your success.
What's often not talked about is working with others can also amplify your risks.
Business Social Responsibility (BSR)
Perhaps big businesses with big budgets and big personalities like Buffett, Gates, Oprah or just a word that's really hard to spell?
But where does Small Business fit into the conversation about philanthropy, business social responsibility (BSR) and giving back to the community in meaningful ways?
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit ― Aristotle.
For more than 10 years I enjoyed a successful career in law. Today, when many people learn about my previous position and see the noticeably different life I’m now seen to be living, it’s not uncommon for many to inquisitively ask the same question. ‘Don’t you miss all that now?’
Born in the 1980s? Lucky you (the case for Gen Y envy)
We believe people do business with people, not companies; and when given choice, people always do business with people who best understand them.
Working smarter? It just might be bad advice
The Genie is out of the bottle (mind the metaphor)
Information about building a business has never been more accessible.
But many small businesses still fail in the first 2 years.
Why?
Asking great questions; It's better than finding simple answers
Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers - Voltaire
- When was the last time you were propositioned?
- Our communities need leaders now, not promises of money later
- Are you solving the wrong problem with the right answer?
- What does it feel like to be wrong?
- Give with your head more than your heart
- Whos invested in your business?
