 Why did you go into business?

I noticed a gap between the advice that small business owners and working class people receive and the wealthy receive.  I believe that all should be entitled to the same benefits, quality of service and knowledge. 

 Why is your business a success?

I treat clients with respect and integrity.  Success in business is determined by not only the product that I provide but the relationships that are developed. 

Company Goals:
To provide financial solutions to help clients obtain their financial goals.

What’s your position or main responsibility to the company?
My main responsibility is to provide solutions to problems.

 What’s the best aspect about your position?
Learning and implementing established and new solutions and passing on those ideas to clients.

What’s your worst aspect about your position?
The biggest challenge is to determine a fee schedule that enables clients to receive services who desperately need them, but do not have the resources to pay. 

The best business advice you received?
Treat clients the way you would want to be treated.

The biggest business mistake you made?
Allowing friendships to overlap business. 

Best place for a business meal?
