As a quick aside, I know it is a branding decision, but it is one that I’ve gone through a few times. Do I build out my own name as the brand or my small company name. I see great value in building the co name. But since I’ve been mostly self-employed, you’d think it would be only one company name, however, I’ve had several. Some of my companies made it, some flopped. I have now chosen to use my name as my main brand in the social media space as I at least know, with relative certainly, that I won’t ever be known as “the guy formerly known as TJ McCue…”

Anita, I wanted to reach out and introduce myself. Long time reader here. The last year has been rough. New customers dried up since last fall and other customers cut back by as much as 20% on orders. Our supplier with the best prices went bankrupt. We had to let 2 employees go. Looking at the numbers makes me blue. I’ve taken to questioning myself. Then I read Larry Janesky’s article. His advice gave me a stark insight. Suddenly I realized that part of the problem is me. I have given up inside, cried uncle and stopped trying. The article gives me new hope and energy to try a few different tactics. Here’s to a fresh start.

Totally agree with this statement. We can never achieve a level of success greater than our level of growth. So if we want to be successful in business, we must commit to constant and never ending self improvement.
