A majority of the time when we see someone talk about their business, we are usually only getting one side of the story. We hear all about the good things happening but seldom about the things that may not be going so well.

So how is your business doing, really? What is your view of the state of our economy?

The metrics say we’re doing just fine, but do they tell the whole story? How are you doing compared to this same time last year?

One thing we can all probably agree on is that things just cost more across the board. Listen in as Pat shares 4 steps to handling rising expenses.

Also on this episode:

• Leadership / Influence – If you’ve grown your business to the point that you have a team of employees, this segment is for you! Dawn Mullarney, CEO of Unique Connector lets us in on the secret to identifying the leaders in your organization. They may not be who you think they are.
• Control / Good Energy – Bad things can happen to any business. So when life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, Krista Morrissey, Chief Growth Officer for Choices Coaching & Consulting is here to help us get past the icky stuff so it doesn’t linger for long.
• Celebration! – We’re celebrating with Leighann Lovely, Owner of Love Your Sales, who’s business is officially profitable for the first time! Not bad for a company that just started earlier this year.
