Good people need to come back in style once again.

We end where we began, looking for the best role models and teachers among us.

Sustainable Businesses - the Unique Fabric of Every Community

Let's change the stats. Today over 70% of all business will fail to transition to the next generation. The intangibles, especially the goodwill, are lost forever. What would happen to the fabric our our communities if 70% of all businesses did transition to the next generation?

We are all producers:  One might guess that we would have an employment shortage overnight. And that would be true, but the backbone of the web, the convergence that makes it possible to do telemarketing in the USA from India, also makes it ever more possible for small businesses to do business around the world with employees scattered in every corner.

The challenge for all of us to simply to become a better producer!
