As your business grows, so do your needs. Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone you could turn to for small business consulting? Someone you could trust and afford? The big corporations have the deep pockets to hire expensive consultants that specialize in marketing, customer service, strategic planning and every imaginable business need. But most small business owners really need honest, direct-to-the point small business consulting. That’s why we began offering small business consulting for entrepreneurs. When we were building our businesses, we needed help and advice, but couldn’t afford the expensive consultants. And sometimes all we really needed was a quick check to make sure we were on the right path.
One area we felt was critical to offer for small business consulting was during the start-up phase of a business. Starting a new business from scratch is not as easy as registering your LLC and deciding a business name. It takes planning. Planning that answers questions like: What kind of service or products are you offering? Who is your target market? Why will they buy from you and not your competitors? How will you reach this target market? And the biggest question of all: How much money do you have reserved to keep this business afloat? During this type of small business consulting, we help business owners find answers to these very important questions so that their new business gets off to a solid start.
Most entrepreneurs feel the stress of too many things to do in a 24 hour day, especially when their entire list is necessary and important. Our small business consulting that focuses on time management helps small business owners recognize their own time management weaknesses and strengths, in order to find balance in their family, career, personal and spiritual life.
How can a small business owner know if they are using the most effective marketing methods for their business? Our small business consulting on marketing will help entrepreneurs discover what will make their marketing effective while bringing the return on income they want.
With Customer Service as lacking as it is today, this is an area we felt small business consulting could make a great impact. If 20% of customers bring in 80% of business, entrepreneurs need to know everything they can about those 20%. We will help entrepreneurs realize the 5 Best Practices for Customer Service Excellence through our direct and powerful small business consulting. Because effective marketing + excellent customer service = profit for you and your business. We cracked that code and we are willing to share it with you.
In today’s economy, sales can make or break your company. How can small business consulting help you with sales? Well, we firmly believe that sales is all about Customer Service. It is how you convert your marketing to make money. If your marketing is great, and your customer service is just fine, how come your sales are not increasing? Let us tell you why with our small business consulting session on Sales.
As a small business owner, you will have to feel comfortable speaking in front of others. Public speaking is not all about prepared speeches. Most small business consulting services fail to recognize that impromptu public speaking is the most common type.
How do you talk to your employees or your vendors when they ask you a question that you weren't prepared to answer? How do you handle on-the-spot questions from your future client? Learn how to baffle them with your brilliance by mastering the Art of Impromptu Public Speaking. Our small business consulting on public speaking will help you get that sale, respect and trust that you have been wanting!
Your success in business really boils down to your leadership. All the small business consulting in the world cannot help you if you don’t have a vision for your company or yourself. A real leader doesn’t need authority, position, power or status. All you have to do is watch children at play to get this concept. Others must want you to succeed. But if you are ready to honestly assess yourself, we are here to offer small business consulting that will help you see how you can serve others and unleash the potential of those around you.
And finally, for the women entrepreneur, we offer a special small business consulting that helps you feel empowered. Whether you are transitioning from career to home, from home back to work, or from one career to another, we are here to help you with our small business consulting services! From coming up with a Power-Resume that can get you that job to preparing you to “dress for success”, from practicing for those unexpected interview questions to guiding you to a new direction in life by outlining a specific, goal-oriented game plan for your new life. Bring it on! We’re ready to serve you through our small business consulting that focuses on empowering women!
No matter what size your business is we welcome you to consider our honest, no holds barred, direct to the point small business consulting services. We created our suite of small business consulting packages to help small business owners like us—real people looking for real advice.

Help Start My Own Business
Help Start My Own Business
“Be Your Own Boss.” That sounds really good, because that means having your own business. But do you really know what it takes to have your own business? Do you know what kind of business you want to call your own business? In having your own business, do you know what kind of product or services you would like to offer? Do you know how much you need to keep your own business afloat for 3 to 5 years?
You have to understand that it takes 4 to 6 months of marketing with excellent customer service to let your target market(s) know that your own business exists. Then it takes another 4 to 6 months to really see the result of your marketing--when people actually start coming to buy your product or to pay for your service. For the meantime, your monthly expenses don’t wait and can’t wait for you to have that first sale in order for you to pay those expenses.
Are you mentally and financially ready to do what you need to do to keep your own business afloat for 3 to 5 years? The reason I asked this is because surveys and statistics reveal that most small business owners who own their own business close their own business in 1 to 3 years after being hit by not earning enough or possibly not earning anything at all. After 3 years, it’s the survival of the fittest until your own business makes it to its 5th year. After the 5th year, the statistics and surveys show that your own business possibility of surviving is good, because it withstood the pressures and challenges that a lot of small businesses experience.
I learned this the hard way when my entire family (3 brothers, my father and mother) started our own business in 2003. It lasted for 6 years and then we closed it. Our own business remained a small business because first-time business owners (including me) weren't ready for good debt risk to keep the business afloat and so it can grow through franchising. It was just too much to handle for us back then to have our own business.
That’s why I know how important it is to have HELP when starting your own business. Our Small Business Consulting is the best that you could ever have for your own business, because we offer a 90-Day Business Development Plan to help you understand and see your own business’ Big Picture. We will help you realize your Passion that you could turn into your own business. Because if you start a business that you never liked, and you just got into it because you want to get rich quick, I will tell you this, “One year is too long for you to handle that business.” Every day, you will be frustrated by your own business that you started because you will never have fun doing it.
However, if you start your own business with a product or service that you are passionate about, your daily tasks to make this business grow will not be like “work” because you are going to have fun doing these “fun tasks” for your own business. This will make your own business a breath of fresh air for you. You will be able to make your own business last longer and entertain the possibility of growing it to serve your target market(s) and offer employment to more people.
So, if you have your own business or if you want to start your own business and be your own boss call us at 314-779-2173, e-mail us at info@ERforME.com or blog your questions in our blog site at www.ERforME.wordpress.com.

Daily Planner
Daily Planners
I started writing my tasks and my goals when I was in high school. Every day, I write what I plan and need to do--from washing the dishes and cooking to completing my homework assignment. Back then, I just used a simple notebook. Every time I finished something, I checked it off. I didn't know I was using a system of Day Planners and doing Daily Planning. Before I went to bed each night, I wrote what I want. I wrote my goals, such as buying a new purse that was popular at that time. Daily Planning using a Day Planners idea / system to budget was the only way I could buy that purse because we were very poor when I was growing up. And the only way I could buy that purse was to save from my every day money that my mother would give me.
It wasn’t until I was 16 years old and had finished my one-year vocational course in Professional Secretarial that I found Daily Planners in the school and office supplies department in a mall. I was amazed how many Daily Planners there were! Different colors, different styles, different versions. Wow! I never knew that Daily Planners existed! I chose the very simple one. It was the color pink, of course. The problem is that I didn't have any money to buy it. It was 50 cents (converted from Philippine Peso to the Dollar, $1 = Php 50). So I saved for it. After a month, I got my pink Daily Planner! How cool I felt! I felt so great that I imagined myself like those executives that I saw in TV who were using Daily Planners.
I just used that pink Daily Planner for a couple of months then I put it aside, because it didn't have the system that I want for a Daily Planner or Daily Planners. I went back to a simple notebook using my own system that worked well for me.
When I was 25 years old, my fiancée Keith saw how and what I am using for my tasks. He told me he will send me a Daily Planner like the Daily Planners executive are using in the United States. So he sent me a very elegant, nice red color Daily Planner. It was a very expensive $200 Daily Planner. It was Php 10,000 in our currency! My jaw dropped at how expensive that Daily Planner was! I thought, “Oh my gosh! I wish he could just have given me that money and I could have just bought a Php 100.00 ($2) worth of Daily Planner and use the rest of the money to buy more important things.
So, because it was so expensive, I used the Daily Planner and took very good care of it. After using it for 6 months, I put back that Daily Planner into its box and returned to my simple notebook using my own system. Clearly, I haven't seen any Daily Planners that have the same system that I have been using since high school.
On March 27, 2007, I stepped on the Land of Milk and Honey – the United States of America. And again, I was amazed how many kinds of Daily Planners exist that I never saw in our country. Yeah, I bought another Daily Planner again, and used that Daily Planner for one year. And again, I stopped using it because instead of helping me be in order with my daily tasks everyday, that Daily Planner overwhelmed me. It brought me to the realization that each Daily Planner doesn't really have a SYSTEM behind it.
That's why I invented The Simply Effective Daily Planner in July 2009. I also introduced this Simply Effective Daily Planner to my business partner – Nancy. Since then our lives have been so much easier, smoother, and more productive because of this Simply Effective Daily Planner. We have never been more happy, peaceful and accomplished. Why? Because this Daily Planner has a built-in proprietary system of the Power of Choice and Limitation. This Daily Planner changed our lives and we know and believe it will change yours, too.
