Does your business need some professional direction?

Sole proprieter, entrepreneur, solopreneur... whatever you call yourself, I’ll help you get where you want to be (and where you’re meant to be).

Tobacco Plus Expo Keynote Presentation, Las Vegas, NV

Craig was very professional, responsive and listened very closely to the requirements of the project. We had a very select group of business people and Craig formulated his presentation and delivery to get the best response from the audience. Also, Craig had a very limited time frame to deliver what is essentially a two day program. He did it where everyone understood.
Your presentation went over extremely well. This particular audience had a tremendous amount of entrepreneurs and they don’t get the chance to brainstorm or think about things differently when they are running day to day events. Along with the presentation, Craig was kind enough to prepare a hand-out which summarized his presentation.
I would encourage any company or organization that is interested in learning more about Craig to give me a call at (973) 335-4400. Craig might not be for every occasion, but he can certainly tailor his thought provoking presentation and leave a lasting impression with a lot of groups.

"The coaching conversation afterward integrated things into my life. I’m a planner and I discovered that there’s a time to stop planning and get into action, and I was missing that action. I knew this was true about me but I have never confronted it before."

You Can't Manage Time But You Can Manage You.
Managing yourself is hard enough! And you're flexible while time is not. When you understand why you cannot manage time, you can do a much better job of managing what you have control over.

"Dear Craig, As the president of the Gold Coast Business Network, I would like to thank you for the terrific presentation you gave us on December 7, 2004.

Winning Your Game
if you see life or business as a game, winning is far preferable to losing! On the other hand, like the professional poker players, you can't win unless losing is a possibility. If you want to win, you have to know what your game is. Too many businesspeople don't really know what their game is..

Dear Craig, It was most appropriate that your presentation to our Rotary Club occurred on the Ides of March. You were the mental "Brutus" to the club's "Caesar,"
slaying old thought patterns and thereby creating a new era. Perhaps you can come back on a periodic basis to "slay" other tired thought patterns?

Intentional Referrals
The small businessman usually doesn't have a big advertising budget, and "word-of-mouth" is accidental. This presentation shows the businessman how to generate referrals intentionally.
