Using humor and real life stories - I help business owners identify the factors necessary for their success. I help them take charge of their organization's future.

The Internet offers Main Street an opportunity unique in history - but only those who take the right steps at the right time will be the winners. Having family business advice for a solid Internet strategy is vital if the owner's dreams for the business are to come true.

Whether it's a luncheon or after-dinner keynote, a "kick-off" presentation at a National Trade Association meeting, or a half day workshop on how the Internet can be your bridge to the success in the 21st. Century - audiences are always entertained and informed. "My presentations motivate the audience to action while the sponsoring organization provides a value added service to its members."

Sample Topics Include:

• Family Business Internet Strategies Never before have the tools for growth been as available as they are today. Business owners from all over the country are asking, "How can the Internet make us more profitable, make our advertising dollars go further, make our marketing efforts more producrive and our inventory turnover faster?"

  I demonstrate how growth and increased profitability can be accomplished by leveraging resources already at hand. This presentation is ideal for a group wanting to focus in the future of their business and industry in a highly competitive, fast changing world.

• Digital Profits, the new model for distribution - online. The Internet provides businesses the opportunity to support their traditional distribution channel and become a direct marketer at the same time. Sophisticated software previously available only to Fortune 500 companies - is within your reach.

  Now you can harness the Internet for your resellers, your direct customers, and your organization's benefit. After a keynote presentation concerning family business advice, I often present "hands on" detailed sessions for the people serious about doing something, not just hearing about it.

• What's a Nice Midwestern Guy Like You Doing, Living in New York City?
  This humorous and award winning presentation describes my reactions to being in New York City at age 10 - on my way with my mother to meet my dad stationed in West Germany. And returning here to live many years later - of my own choice.

  This is a great ice-breaker presentation at a luncheon during a day long seminar or as an after-dinner presentation during the association's meeting. New York City is an exciting place and this is a funny and insightful presentation (for people interested in visiting here and those who think you'd have to be nuts to live here). Each person will say that it confirms what they already believed - whether they want to come here or not.

• "The Dot-Com's New Clothes". Hans Christian Anderson was born on April 2nd., 1805. In his wonderful story, "The Emperor's New Clothes", he describes how a King and his court convinced each other and themselves that the invisible cloth from which his new suit was crafted was quite the 'Next New Thing'. Then some kid in the crowd pointed out that he really didn't have anything on, as he paraded down the street. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

  If Mr. Anderson was alive today he would have created this insightful and entertaining presentation. He would have had the courage to stand up to the Wall Street mavens, the mainstream media who hyped ridiculous ideas, and the so-called business owners whose silly companies were solutions in search of a problem to solve.

  It was therefore left to me to tell this story. My roots in the real world made it easy for me, and the message was not initially popular. I presented it for the first time in New York's Silicon Alley. That was over a year ago, before the crash - and there were some knowing looks from members of the audience. Now that reality has set in, it has become a favorite and "timely" message.
