I approach all of my professional relationships as a Business Scientist and Entrepreneurial Capitalist.
I discovered in Graduate School the soft sciences respond to the laws of nature like ocean physics or weather systems. Nothing in nature is superfluous, there is a reason for everything, and nature always seeks the most efficient solution.
Business is no exception. One revelation from the last 40 years is the significance of the small business community; you and I employ 57% of the plant.
My consulting experience extends from the Fortune 500 to small business turn-arounds. We have worked in software, hardware, online, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, hospitality, and retail. I will provide a client list upon request.
Besides BS and MS degrees in Organizational Development, I have over 100 oceanographic missions leading and managing teams of scientists and technical experts. This taught me the need for attention to detail and precision in a variety of challenging environments.

15% of small business today have achieved breakeven plus sand are doing good, not great. The have reached sufficient and predictable cash flow. What is the problem?
