:: Favorite Book(s)?

Sabbath: Restoring the Sacred Rhythm of Rest by Wayne Muller, The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss, Attracting Perfect Customers by Hall and Brogniez and Secrets of Six-Figure Women by Barbara Stanny

:: Women Leader That Inspires You?
Michelle Obama and Oprah are the first two that come to mind. I appreciate their strength, personal power and heart.

:: Who Was Your Best Manager? Why?
My best manager was the owner of a restaurant that I managed. He let me know what his expectations were and then he let me run the restaurant in the way that I thought was best. He gave me lots of freedom and autonomy which helped me to thrive as an employee and as a manager.

:: Your First "Real" Job?
I've never had a "real" job. I worked for a veterinarian and a dentist as an assistant and then worked in the restaurant business. I started my own pet sitting and dog walking business in my early twenties and have been self employed since then.

:: Where Do You Do Your Best Thinking?
In my journal while doing my "morning pages" (I've got a stack of journals in my shed!) and on my hiking trail in the woods. Sometimes my best thinking occurs on my bike or at the gym or in a brainstorming session with my many self employed friends.

:: What Do You Value Most in Employees? Colleagues?
In employees I value a willingness to do the best job possible and a commitment to integrity and responsibility. In colleagues I value our holding each other to a high standard.

:: What Would You Like to Be the World's Best At?
The best coach at helping business owners see and run their business from outside the box!

:: What Do You Consider Your Greatest Achievement?
I'm working on what I think will be my greatest achievement to date-my book for business owners.

:: What Is Your Personal Mission Statement?
My personal mission is to assist business owners to run their businesses with ease and profit so that they can create a rich and meaningful work life and personal life.
