The purpose of The Commonsense Entrepreneur is to provide a self–analysis checklist for entrepreneurs. When it comes to the skills we use (or would like to use) to make a living, many of us are self-taught. Often this leaves holes in our education. Some we're aware of, others, we're not. This book will help ferret out the latter and allow them to be filled in before they cause problems.
You can download a flyer (PDF) with all the details.
Get all the help a small business or solopreneur needs from a single source. We're professional and reliable, with over 25 years experience in most of our services. Please call or email for an absolutely no-pressure consultation to see how we can help you. We're happy to provide references who'll rave about the quality of our work, ability to meet deadlines, technical abilities and customer service skills.

Virtual Office Administration—Awesome Assistant
As small business owners we know how difficult it can be to juggle a busy schedule. You want to concentrate on your business and getting your work done. This can be challenging when your day is interrupted by phone calls, emails, paying bills, trying to collect payments from customers, creating, copying and mailing out that flyer. You may not have the time, money or office space to hire an assistant.
Why not outsource this position to an online office administrator? We can help you enhance and grow your business by providing professional, reliable and affordable administrative support services to independent entrepreneurs and small business owners. Our years of experience in office administration, specializing in bookkeeping, can help provide practical solutions for your business needs.

Small Business Mentoring—The Commonsense Entrepreneur
The Commonsense Entrepreneur mentors service related small businesses in customer-centric thinking as a primary tool to reach your goals. We analyze your business, provide recommendations you can apply immediately, and teach you the principles of customer-centric thinking.
A Mentor, Not a Coach
Rather than being a 'business coach' my intent is to be a mentor. A paid mentor, but still a mentor, not a coach. I think about the title I chose for myself as co-founder of the Northern California Artistic Achievement Awards, 'The Grassies'—Anamchara Eolais. It means one who guides others through what could be a complicated process, but is instead a simple path to useful knowledge. It comes from the ancient Gaelic word for the older priest who mentored the younger in. not only his duties, but his thinking. It's combined with a word that means more than just information, but information which has value.
Mentoring AID
This mentoring will have a specific focus: AID—Accountability in Implementation and Decisionmaking.
Making decisions can be incredibly challenging in the vacuum most small business/solopreneurs find themselves. And for every idea that sees the light of day, hundreds languish for lack of a clear plan for implementation.
Knowing that someone else is genuinely interested in your success creates a personal sense of accountability. That's the accountability I'll create: not of you to me, but of you to yourself.
We'd love to give you some free advice. Just email us a question, or a description of the issue you're facing, and we'll offer some ready-to-use suggestions and the reasons behind them. All we ask is your permission to re-print the essence of the Q&A.
Web Design—Spinhead Web Design
Spinhead Web Design offers full–service web design. From purchasing a domain name and creating your first website to developing dynamic efficiency and automation tools, we can help the small–business entrepreneur navigate the often complex processes involved in creating a practical online presence.
Whether you need to match your website to existing marketing collateral or create a whole new brand, Spinhead will work with you to ensure that your website perfectly suits your needs to showcase your products, services, and information.
Already have a website, but need additional functionality?

Spinhead can help with search tools and innovative ways to present large amounts of data in a simple, organized fashion.
