The Daily Dog Paddle

Welcome to The Daily Dog Paddle, the spot where business owners often feel like they’re swimming upstream and not making enough progress.  Whether you are an old dog or a young one, you can stop fighting the current and learn new tricks to navigating the boulders in your river…things like staying current with clients while filling your pipeline with prospects, allocating time effectively, managing e-mail and handling business or life clutter.

When we mentioned these business boulders, did you shudder? Did you nod in agreement feeling like it’s often overwhelming to stay on top of everything? You may have wanted to click off this site while saying, “No way – I hate those things!”

Let us reassure you… we also have found ourselves in that same place of resistance.  Being a small business owner is challenging, even if your background is in helping clients be more productive.  Sometimes it’s just not easy to do it yourself. That’s why we are committed to supporting small business owners.  Between us, we’ve taken several top level marketing, leadership, strategy programs, retreats and workshops – spending literally thousands of dollars with mentors.  We’re pulling our expertise together in a way that helps business owners get through what can be tedious subjects more easily – let’s make progress in our businesses while keeping it fun and playful!

If you’ll click on the box on the right, we’ll keep you in the loop as we begin creating materials for our new venture, Doing the Daily Dog Paddle.  We’ll keep you in the loop on our speaking, tele-seminar and product updates as they evolve.  We plan to support you in creating the perspective and systems that can support you in moving from surviving to thriving … and in taking your business to the next level.
