Erika graciously agreed to do a quick sample coaching session with me. She is not a current client and this was the first time I coached her. Listen in to get a glimpse of “what coaching is”.

A little about her company:

We are a tiny company located near Grand Rapids, Michigan. My inspiration for ClipCleany™ started when my little puppy pooped at the kids bus stop and I had to tell all the moms “I am coming back….I am going to pick that up.” Later, while walking my dog on a dog path, I found that I really needed something with me at all times. Luckily, before going on that faithful dog path, my puppy must have eaten a green crayon, let’s just say it was easy to find which dog do-do was ours! I was tired of having my pockets stuffed with bags. Most of the time, I wanted to go for a quick walk or run, sometimes I would “gamble” and would inevitably lose. Then I started noting everyone walking a dog….did they have a bag with them….most of the dog owners were pretty aware of the laws…but if someone didn’t appear to have a bag…you can’t frisk people. The ClipCleany™ was born from this very odd obsession. Many prototypes were made. Engineers and lawyers were consulted. CAD drawings came from the illustrations from my patent application. Even a web designer and a graphics guy at the print shop contributed to this process. All so that we can responsibly and conveniently love our dogs!

That book is selling worldwide and has been translated into eight other languages. His new novel, A Bank of Last Resort, is his first, so long as one doesn’t count the four other manuscripts gathering dust in his closet which never made it out to the world. This novel was born in the first week of March 2009 as he watched Fox News and was appalled at the headlines chronicling the Government’s actions in taking control over the nation’s largest banks.

He is now at work on the Go America Project which started as an idea in his novel and has now evolved from a work of fiction to an organization in the real world engaged in helping America regain its economic vitality, develop more and better jobs, and support the Small Business community where so much of our business innovation and dynamism is found.
