We had with us today Jan Dahlin Geiger, author of “Get Your Assets in Gear�, Business Guru, Nicco Duncan of APerfectPlan.net and Ed Bikales, CEO and owner of Snippies, a truly Unique of the Week.

Jan Geiger is a financial powerhouse – and somehow when she states she is rich, you are not immediately jealous – perhaps because she follows it with “you can be, too – and I’ll show you how.â€?  Her altruistic nature is at work on this interview, as Jan dispenses advice she learned growing up – that still makes sense (and cents into dollars) these days.  Her book is the only one we’ve seen on Amazon with almost a straight 5 star rating after over 50 reviews.  Check it out today!

So, you want to start a new business?  Need to revive a current one?  Want to grow your franchise?  You need to speak to our Business Booster, Nicco Duncan, of www.aperfectplan.net – she is truly amazing.  When Nicco came to the show, we were told to expect someone who “does it allâ€? -  and Nicco lives up to her billing.  The advice she gives and services she offers aren’t often all found in one location, and she is quick to strategically partner when she isn’t able to do something herself.  A consummate networker and businesswoman, Nicco will help your company grow and keep many headaches off your docket.

Ed Bikales, CEO of Snippies, knew he was onto something – marketing and research done by journalists – but even he never expected that things would go like they have.  Since beginning Snippies, one day prior to 9-11-01, he has seen a growth that has been phenomenal, an interest level that has only skyrocketed, and now is worldwide with over 200 video journalists in 90 cities.  Using journalists to capture valuable marketing data and insight has led to a whole new scope of what is possible, and Ed explains to us during the show the advantages and how it all works – for market research, new business pitches, promos and more - tune in, tap in and grow your business!
