Owning a business is challenging – from increasing costs, regulations, competition and more the day to day of being a business owner if often far from glamorous. However, the reason so many of us do what we do is the moments when we are able to come through in a big way for our clients. The moments when we know we’ve made a real difference. Every entrepreneur we know wants to increase the frequency of those moments and so we think one of the best ways to do that is by having people share their stories with others – we can all learn from each other and become better recognizing and executing on opportunities to help our clients win.

My mission as a business owner is to offer world-class service for a reasonable price. This was the case with one of my customers this past year. One of my network partners reached out to me and asked me to help out their friend who was getting engaged and hosting an engagement party for their family. The network partner informed me that this client was on a tight budget and asked if I could simply DJ for their event. I agreed and decided to bring my entire arsenal of equipment, lights, and speakers. Once the future Mr. and Mrs. arrived at the venue both of them were overcome with emotions. Read more>>

In the summer of 2023, a 28-year-old US Marine Sergeant reached out to me with a clear goal: to attend a top–ten college for an undergraduate business major. His “reach” schools (a college or university that is considered extremely difficult to get into because of your academic profile or the school’s acceptance rate) included: Cornell, Harvard, UPenn, Boston University, Yale, USC, and Stanford. With acceptance rates under 10%, it was a challenging endeavor. Read more>>

Several years back. About 3 or 4 years into The Green Room. Still very much in my DEBT PHASE. I sat with a young actress in the office on the 7th floor. notable because I usually sign people on the 11th floor because its a better view and makes up for any lack of charm from a previous sleepless night on my part. This young lady was special. I told her so. She had no credits nothing on the resume screamed “Star” but I knew she was a star. I told her “Right now, you need me more then I need you” “If I do my job correctly, that will change. just dont become a jerk when youre famous” We shook hands and I proceeded to flood her with auditions. Nothing stuck. Read more>>

The customer success stories for me are the ones where you get them to come back. Time is our most precious resource, so having any customer willingly choose to come back to the same place because of how you made them feel is special. I work at a bookstore, and there’s nothing quite so magical as having a moment of connection with someone who walks in innocently, just looking for a. book. It can be the difference between a good day and a bad day. I had this one guy who came in and treated me like his most trusted confidante immediately. Read more>>

For many students, mastering math is essential for success in college and STEM careers. However, research indicates a troubling trend: nearly half of college students struggle in required algebra courses, often stemming from limited access to high-quality math instruction in underserved communities. As a former high school math instructor and someone who has taught both developmental and advanced math courses at community colleges and universities, I (Dr. Monique Williams) have seen this challenge firsthand.

Imagine owning your first home in a thriving South Los Angeles neighborhood—a place that’s not only perfect for living but also a wise investment for the future.
