No one gets into business wanting to lose. Everyone wants to win.

You want to win, because that means you can actually stay in business. You can keep your doors open.

You need to be profitable to win.

This isn't earth shattering news. Most people understand you need to be profitable in business. Yet, being successful at business requires margins in profit...and so much more. What it comes down to is winning at the margins.

Join Michael and Jim as they explore this essential topic for business leaders and entrepreneurs.

One of the key areas that separates those who lead and those who follow is the ability and willingness to make difficult decisions.

Many times you don't learn this, until it's decision time...and you see all of the heads turning...and looking towards you and saying, "Well?"

In many cases, your teams, and those who are following you aren't even requiring the perfect decision. They just need you to decide.

However, these are important decisions, so you want to make the best ones possible for the benefit of your customers, your staff, and your business.

Proper decision making skills require instincts you develop over time. They depend on you growing the courage you must have to excel as a leader.

Join Michael and Jim as they share strategy that will assist you in being an excellent decision maker.

As an entrepreneur, there are always obstacles in the road, things holding us back, making us swerve and risk heading off into a ditch.

Much about being competitive in today's business is having the ability to steer away, to avoid running into those boulders that seem to fall into the middle of our paths.

However...that's assuming that we're actually moving forward. That we're on the road. The truth is, that for many entrepreneurs, the greatest difficulty is just getting started.

Join Michael and Jim as they explain how to overcome the difficulty of getting started.
