Ideas, strategy, and tactics all live within the currency of thinking. They rarely translate to the currency of value without something else. That something starts with the customer.
Professional Profile
Welcome to my site. My career took a turning point many years ago in going from a historian (accountant) to an entrepreneur. It's hard to forget the moment when someone buys your product. It's the ultimate exchange of value. Ever since, I've played in many areas. Always wanting to bring the lessons to life for everyone else. I lead companies, groups, and people, building frameworks for success at Universities across the world.
Seeing barriers as opportunities is not for everyone and, even that, provides an opportunity.
