Last week I spent a day in Colorado with ETR Publisher, Matt Smith, getting clarity on our mission and vision with Early to Rise. We looked ahead to the future, to the year 2015 specifically, and planned for what the business will look like at that time. A question we kept coming back to was how [...]

Today’s the day when we finally meet. Well, virtually, that is. Frankly, I think this is long overdue and I regret not sending this out earlier. What I want to share with you today is a one-hour online video of a business building presentation I did back in March of this year. This video has been [...]
