inspired by the stories of hundreds of small business owners and managers

The most important skill I learned as a journalist was how to ask questions and truly listen to the answers. That skill helped me in my sales career, too, and was even more important when I became an entrepreneur.  Listening to other business owners talk about their successes, failures, experiments and tried-and-true tactics helped me not only avoid repeating their mistakes but encouraged me to persevere and try new strategies.  The stories and advice of hundreds of small business owners and managers inspired the Dynamic Manager.
