From a young age, I was fortunate to be immersed in the world of small business owners, thanks to my Dad, a CPA who specialized in small businesses. As I embarked on my journey with Our Success Group and earned my Success Principles certification, I noticed a clear parallel between the universal truths of personal success and the operation of a small business. It all boiled down to building a solid foundation.

Over the years, as I traveled the world speaking to small businesses, and experienced the highs and lows of business as an employee, owner, and consultant, the concepts in this book began to take shape. Initially, the 5 Keys of Growing and Launching, paired with the 5 Keys of Planning and Marketing, allowed me to share these ideas. As the training grew within Our Success Group, the business-related articles and Small Business Saturdays episodes featuring the FUNdamentals at their core were met with great enthusiasm. I realized I needed to consolidate this information into a single, accessible reference to help proactive small business owners build a business they love. I proudly published my book in December of 2023 - The FUNdamentals of Business Success. 

The reason FUN is at the core is simple: when you align with your passion (or as we discuss in the book, your reason), running a business doesn't feel like an overwhelming job. It's all about having a foundation that allows you to control your business growth, rather than the other way around. I hope that I can serve as a guide for you to implement solid FUNdamentals and understand that the process is one of continuous improvement. Anyone can do it as long as they follow the steps and keep at it until it feels effortless, thanks to the momentum that's been built.
