The pandemic will make billionaires of some and bankrupt others. Businesses have been around for centuries. Regardless of era or culture, people from antiquity have created or provided services and have been compensated for their work. Recently, all businesses around the world took a shock when the Pandemic of 2020 hit the global economy and shook commerce to… Read more →

Their building was destroyed by the Nashville tornado…
but their business is still up and running and they can’t get the word out. “You have health insurance, car insurance, and life insurance. Why would you not have digital insurance for your business?” For those of you reading this blog, I doubt there is anyone unaffected by or unaware of the devastation our town experienced this past… Read more →
Tax Preparation Season: When You Love Us Most
During the year, we generally try to hold fast to our budgets. If you’re a small business or new venture, spending can be, well, just painful— unless there is a nice overflow. When it comes to our clients, we understand that. Writing those checks each month is a commitment. Happily, one that comes with a nice pay off in… Read more →
Call the Professionals
It was a simple task. I figured I could do it myself and truth be told, I was doing ok. When it was all said and done, I knew deep down, this wasn’t my area of expertise. I was trying to save money. In the end, it was just a waste of precious time, energy, and resources. Why didn’t I… Read more →
Wine, Women, and Wandering the Room
“He’s on the golf course, can I take a message?” A few situations of late have taught me what I now believe to be a strong and solid truth: men network over golf, women network over wine. For years, people have joked about men golfing (or hanging out at sporting events)but; the fact is—it works. Somewhere between the 6th and… Read more →
“Co-oper-tition!”
What did she just say? “There’s enough work for everyone,” she said. “I just think they’d be a better fit for you and your team.” I was stunned and humbled. How often do you hear that from one of your competitors these days? Let alone from someone who is 20+ years your junior? It’s not a typical way of thinking… Read more →
You Might Not Be Ready For Us…Today
Or you might be more ready than you think… When I saw his advertisement come across my phone notification, I was perplexed. He was an entrepreneur, looking to pay a very handsome salary for one person to handle his projects. Interesting. I reached out to him and said, “Instead of one person for that amount, would you consider a team?”… Read more →
Just Say “Yes!”
Say ”Yes” to what gets you there. Say “No” to what won’t. I’ve been amazed at the number of people I’ve spoken with over the last few weeks that were quite vocal about their displeasure with the year 2018. It’s surprising that I have not, as of yet, had someone offer up to me that they had a glowing year.… Read more →
Something You’ll Hear at Epiphany (And Elsewhere!)
As I stepped into the conference room, it was an all too familiar drill. Grab a cup of coffee, find a place to sit, and settle in for a firehose of incoming information. Fortunately, I found an empty chair next to a very successful entrepreneur I had met here last year (Ontrapolooza 2017). We chatted and he talked about his… Read more →
Epiphany U is here for YOU!
If you’ve seen the TV show “Billions,” you’ll most likely find it easy to make the connection from the message of that show to the surging trend of “coaching” in the business world. It’s just like going to the gym. The idea that someone can help you reach your goals while working out is now relating to someone coaching a… Read more →
