Welcome!

 

 

You have just found the best online tool for small businesses. Decisions about how to manage your business should never be a guessing game. My purpose is to assist business owners and managers to increasing their profits and build their business for the future. I strive to achieve this through magazine articles, books, seminars,customized consulting services, and partnerships with other like minded businesses. I work with families and individuals whose livelihood depends on the results of the business. It’s an honor and a privilege to to work with and for businesses which serve their community.

As a fourth generation small business owner and speaker  I created Profits Plus to provide assistance to small business owners through a vast array of tools—calculators, magazine articles, books, seminars plus—all created with the experience and expertise I’ve gained from the past 30 years.  

I also work with manufacturers and wholesalers to help their staffs understand the complexity and challenges these small businesses face. Helping suppliers gain the knowledge to assist these small businesses allows the supplier to be a more valuable partner.

As you strive for success you listen to experts speak, read an article or book they’ve written, talk with them one-on-one, always in search of proven results. You want someone who has "been there and done that."I can point you to proven results.

Just ask me.

Top Story

We believe Thursday, April 25 is an important annual celebration for small businesses. While the name of the celebration has varied over the years, the focus is for us to take kids to work with us.

 

This is important for the kids to see what it is we do. They definitely are not going to learn about it in school. Reading the April Small Business News you will see an example from community pharmacists that emphasizes it is up to us as small business owners to introduce kids to what we do.


Article of the Month

While titled, "If not price", the April Article of the Month is asking the question about the focus of your small business in attracting and keeping customers.

 

If there is not something very special about your business, then the only attraction to your businessis that of a low price.


Book of the Month

"The plan as you go business plan" is the April book of the month. The author is Tim Berry who has also created software on the same topic.

 

I do not agree with the concept of "fill in the blank" or "create the plan as you need it" because my experience has been that you do not have as strong as a connection and understanding to your business plan unless you do it yourself and you dedicate the time to create it.
