I've owned and operated small businesses my entire life, and I've been helping others become successful running their small businesses for about 40 years through writing, speaking, and consulting.

While attending UCLA Law School, I made the decision to pursue business instead of law. Since then I have founded over 20 businesses, fifteen of which helped me pay the mortgage. I am currently building MasterMind groups under the SoCalMasterMinds.com brand, and consulting with several small businesses.

"When Friday Isn't Payday" is the cornerstone of my writing career. To my knowledge there isn't currently and hasn't been in the past a single volume that covers the journey of the small business owner from idea, through planning, to starting, growing, managing, and even exiting a business. The title says it all: Small business is hard and often lonely. What do you do when your staff expects to get paid tomorrow, and there isn't enough money in the bank? What if you have enough for them, but nothing left over for your own family?

Being in business for yourself has questions like that every day. Some are about opportunity, risk, success and some about obstacles, challenge, and failure. I've been there. I can help.

I'm an experienced guide, and every page will add to your potential to improve your company and your professional capabilities: Online marketing driving you crazy?
