My Featured Journal Entries

"I enjoyed our tour at Smoothie King. It was interesting to find out that Mr. Brandenburger started by simply asking the franchise how he could open a store. Sometimes I think we can make things harder than they really are. I also see the great value in providing an environment that is team oriented among the employees. Such as calling them team members instead of employees. That's the  kind of work environment that will be the most successful."

"At Wright's Furniture and Flooring in Dieterich, it was interesting to see their approach at business. Being in a small town, they have to make sure that they have returning customers that also tell others about their business. They are very interested in establishing a relationship with the customers, and they care a lot about the customers needs."
