Business…UN-Complicated
From The Plumber’s Wife to America’s Top Expert on Making Big Money Doing Dirty Jobs!
Once upon a time, I almost sank our family business. I assumed I knew enough about business to run a dinky little plumbing company. After all, I had spent about $100,000 of my parents’ money on my college degree in Business Administration. In fact, I graduated at the top of my class. Still, I didn’t know how to balance a checkbook!
I got involved in my husband’s company after his partner died unexpectedly. Boy was I humbled! It seemed like lots of money was moving through the company, but at the end of the month there was never any money left. Thankfully, I found terrific mentors, savvy contractors who taught me how to keep score in business, how to put a simple business plan together, how to make money.
What I learned? How to make Business UN-Complicated. The key is to focus on the few things that have the biggest impact on your results. Business is EASY.
I started Bare Bones Biz, a venture capital and consulting company in 1995 to help folks of all ages turn their big ideas into successful businesses. I write as a columnist for Huffington Post, PHC News, business journals, and trade magazines around the country – providing “in the trenches” insight that business owners can relate to. As president of Benjamin Franklin, The Punctual Plumber, a home service company, I helped grow the company from zero to $40 million in franchise sales and 47 locations in less than 2 years. As president of ZOOM DRAIN Franchising, LLC, a new drain and sewer company expanding across the USA, we are now operating at 60 locations across the USA. I love building businesses and basic financial and business planning systems can take yours a long, long way! We make Business UN-Complicated so you can live Life UN-Leashed!
