|
|
|
| On every page there is the left
sidebar: |
|
| 1. Weekly TV
Show: There is nothing about the broadcasts that isn't linked from this
page! |
|
| 2. Get
some help: Hattie and Bruce (the producers/executive producers) are
only two people yet there are thousands of people who can help you build your
business. Some are free and we list as many resources as possible by state.
This will be expanded by country as well. |
|
| 3. Paths & Steps: This section
will become an interactive area of the site where you can build out your own
pages on this site like the pages for each episode. These Interactive Questions
(IQ) will also be embedded in the current episode's study guide questions and
answers. |
|
| 4. CPE for Your CPA:
We are trying to encourage CPAs to become better advisors to you, to help you
interpret financials, to have a solid business model, and to get on path with
an exit strategy, succession plan, and liquidity model. Next time you see your
CPA, tell them about these CPE courses and we'll give you the same course for
free! |
|
| 5. Ask
Hattie: She says what she means! |
|
| 6. Your
sponsors would love to help you. Without them this show could not go
on. |

| Occassionally a note from a
visitor to this site asks, "What's going on here?" The site is constantly
updated to support the television show and the homepage changes within the
day. |
|
| 1. The past: The top
left section of this page is always about an episode of the show and the
homepage is always about the most recently-released episode. There are 13
episodes in each season and we have tried to create easy access to every
episode that aired somewhere in the world this month. |

|
| 2. The present: The box
in the upper righthand section of the page, looks at what is happening today;
it may be today's reflection about small business and our common future; and
often it will be a key point that could be applied within your business
today. |
|
| 3. The future: The
bottom right section of this page, in a perfect world, would uniquely change
just for you, pointing to new updates since your last visit and directing you
to collaboration events within your industry or your geography. That's coming.
Today it points you to possibilities and dreams for the future. |
|
| 4. First principles:
There are certain truths that seem to transcend time and culture. In this lower
lefthand corner of the page, it will evolve to point you to those discussions.
