Praise from Our Readers

"Ami- I’ve received tons and tons of emails I could have followed. I’ve unsubscribed to nearly all. However, yours is at the top of my daily read and will be.

Relevant, cut to the chase.

It comes from purpose, which is us, not yourself

Personal- we got to know you a bit

Modeled leadership

As a small business owner, I have very few role models and even less knowledge about the navigation of a company and team through pandemics. We made it. We grew."

- David Johnson, evergreenpt.net, Pasadena, CA

Thank you, Ami- I so appreciate your honesty and expertise as well as your willingness to share in humility. Entrepreneurship and business building are challenging- difficult and frustrating as well as awesome and exhilarating! Reading your blog is a bite-sized morsel of reality and insight as to what is going on and how you are navigating it. I like the insights and wisdom you share, as well as some of the useful resources to help us on our entrepreneurial journeys. From one entrepreneur to another… Blessings to you and your team and your family.

Ami, you and your team have been the beacon of information and reasonableness for so many of us throughout the pandemic. Your blog provided timely information to guide business owners through the darkness and shutdown. You were proactive in sharing information on the various financial solutions to help us all take advantage of them to keep our businesses surviving and, for so many now, thriving. Whether the topic was business or personal, your insight is inspirational and valuable! Blog on! Thank you!

Your knowledge helped us negotiate the SBA aid process and ultimately helped save our company after 15 months of a government shutdown with no reopening guidance. Your inspiration refreshes me as an entrepreneur and business owner and helps me stay the course in the continued uncertainty. Keep up the good work!

Ami, as many others have said, I too read your blog every day as part of my morning rituals. Being an entrepreneur and an owner of a small business can be very isolating. However, all of the decisions I make, both bad and good, are owned by me, and your blog has helped me make more informed choices. I do not always do as you recommend, yet I have more of an understanding of the challenges I will face having made my decision.

- Bob Deasy, leaditconsulting.net, Portland OR

This book is in honor of all small business owners and entrepreneurs.
