A little about me and why I do what I do. For over twenty years, I worked for a large Fortune 500 company helping company leaders, departments and teams create and put their plans into action to make change happen. That’s where I gained much of my experience. I’ve always been known as the “action lady.” (It’s no coincidence that my initials are DO.) That’s the person who spurs others into action to get things done. You simply can’t win in business without taking action — and it has to be the right action. Here’s my motto:

In 2004, I started my first blog Just for Small Business. That’s how my publisher, Wiley.com found me. They were interested in the writing I’d done about cash flow issues in small business and in 2006, my book Small Business Cash Flow: Strategies for Making Your Business a Financial Success was published. Your bottom line – the cash in your business – is what will make your business a success. More businesses fail because of insufficient cash flow than for any other reason.

The best way to have a sustainable business is to take action. Now is the best time to begin. Start with these small business tips and then check out these small business tools. And don’t forget to join me on my Facebook page here.
