Guest introduction or personal story

I spent 12 years in the Navy working in logistics. Then I raised five kids, finished a business degree as a mature age student and ran a business, all at once. My husband Dave and I have run PSM, our spray booth field service business, for over 22 years. It's now a multi-seven-figure business with a team of six. The moment that changed everything for me was our accountant telling us we'd had a good year and should pay ourselves a bonus. There was nothing in the bank. That's when I learned the bank balance isn't the real number. I coached business owners across four continents. I quit because my clients felt like they were getting somewhere and nothing changed. Now I roll my sleeves up and do the work with them.
