America is Anything but Healthy by Chris Coltran


According to the United Nations, the U.S. ranks 38th in the World for longevity. There are 37 other countries where the men and women live longer lives than here in the U.S. What is wrong with us? We spend more money per capita than any other country on Healthcare, so why aren’t we higher on the list? You would think Top 5, or maybe at least Top 10 knowing we spend more money than anyone other country in the World.

Our Healthcare system performance also ranks a dismal 37th in the world according the World Health Organization. This is another fact that baffles most Americans when they read it. How is it possible that the wealthiest, most abundant nation in the world ranks so low on the list?

Our physical health isn’t the only problem we face here in America. We also have a big problem with our financial health. It was just recently reported that the average student loan debt now exceeds the average credit card debt. Home foreclosures are at an all-time high. Unemployment rates are double digits in most states. Real Estate values are dropping and the experts predict it will take years to recover.

How do you solve all of these problems? I certainly don’t have the answers people are looking for as a whole, but I do have an answer for you and your family. Don’t sit around and wait for things to get better on their own. You are going to have to be the driving force to distance yourself from these statistics. This new economy is going to be driven by individuals, entrepreneurs, and small business owners.

An entrepreneur doesn’t have to be the type of person your mother warned you about. Many entrepreneurs only earn enough to provide for their own family. They have basically substituted a job for working for themselves. Without having a boss to tell them what to do! Living the American Dream… working for themselves.

Become an Entrepreneur. If you don’t know where to start, give me a call or write me an email. I can help. I have the knowledge to show you how. I can help get you headed in the right direction. I can also help you not only get your financial health in order, but your physical health as well.

The Grandmother Philosophy

The Grandmother Philosophy refers to a customer service approach that emphasizes treating customers with the same care and respect you would show to your own grandmother. It embodies the idea of providing excellent customer service by going above and beyond to make customers feel valued and well taken care of. This philosophy suggests that when interacting with customers, service providers should prioritize kindness, patience, and understanding. It encourages businesses to treat customers as individuals, catering to their unique needs and preferences. Just as you would want your grandmother to be treated with compassion and attentiveness, the grandmother philosophy suggests extending the same level of care to all customers.   By adopting this philosophy, companies aim to build stronger relationships with their customers, foster loyalty, and enhance the overall customer experience. It emphasizes the importance of empathy, actively listening to customers, and addressing their concerns p

How much should you pay for a keynote speaker?

                               How much should I pay for a Keynote Speaker? The amount that speakers charge for their keynote speaking is completely up to the individual person. Most will try to get as much as they can, and some will set their fee schedule so they can keep their calendar full and working. Here is a guide to help you determine how much you should pay for a speaker for your next event.   FREE The only keynote speaker you are going to get for free is one with little or no experience, or if they are going to be making back of the room sales. Back of the  room sales are when a presenter sells books, tapes, or  other consulting packages following their presentation to the audience. This type of presentation is typically geared towards their products, and it will tend to feel like a sales pitch and not an actual keynote. Another reason a speaker might work for free is if it is for a non-profit organization or if they have a particular connection the audience and want to donat

The "R" in the Grandmother Philosophy

  The "R" in the Grandmother Philosophy stands for "Remember to treat every customer like you would your own grandmother." This final step encapsulates the core principle of providing exceptional care, attentiveness, and respect to each customer. It serves as a reminder to go the extra mile, anticipate needs, and create a personalized experience that goes beyond expectations.   Treating every customer like you would your own grandmother means showing genuine care and empathy in every interaction. It involves putting yourself in the customer's shoes, understanding their perspective, and tailoring your approach to meet their unique needs. This step emphasizes the importance of treating each customer as an individual, with the same level of care and attention you would give to a loved one.   When businesses treat every customer like their own grandmother, it creates an atmosphere of warmth, kindness, and respect. Customers feel valued, appreciated, and understood.
