I'm excited to launch this new product to contractors and home service businesses, and develop new business channels for its growth. Every once in a while an opportunity like this comes along, where the problem is so clearly understood, and the solution so perfectly matched, that a new business almost has to emerge from it. I've started many businesses. This time, it feels more like I'm merely shepherding a brilliant team and trying to stay out of the way of success. It's fun to be back in the startup role again.

The weekly show about having and living the blue-collar business dream. We interview successful business owners and find out how they're doing it, as well as authors, speakers and coaches who may just have that gold nugget you need to get you to your dreams. It's all about discovering and recognizing customer service excellence, and building a community of blue-collar world changers. Join us!

I am so proud of the company and Crew we are building at Spark Marketer (formerly Harkins Creative), and the way it is making an impact in our clients' lives. We have put together a comprehensive online marketing system made up of tools, people and expertise that is helping our clients reduce stress and tasks, feel more confident than ever in their online marketing strategy, and make hundreds of thousands of dollars every year.What started as a small segment of our client base has turned into the largest, most rewarding group of people I have ever had the pleasure to serve: the owners and leaders of small, local, home service businesses all across the continent.One of these clients recently told me that he thinks the reason for our success is simple. It's because we focused on them in a way that no other marketing company has ever done. We didn't focus on them as a target-rich sales environment; we focused on them as real people in businesses with specific needs that we could work to understand and serve. And you know what? He's right. That's exactly what we've done, and it has been the single most rewarding, transformative business decision I have ever made. I'd like to see the guys selling phone books say that!
