What’s This All About, Kirk?

So, you just wandered by and are wondering how this site popped up on your list of places to visit, aren’t you?

Well, my name is Kirk Ward, and I’m a retired small business consultant with a bunch of stuff here that I used when I was building my consulting and accounting practices in Atlanta, Durham, and Wilmington in the late 80’s and through the 90’s.

I used stuff like speeches, small business training courses, small business management workbooks, articles and special reports as part of a technique that is now called “Rainmaker” style marketing.

After I retired, I had all this stuff just sitting around filling up shelf space, so I decided that instead of throwing it away, I would scan it, clean it up and modernize it a bit, and then use it to help people just starting or building their small business consulting practices.

And, that’s what this site is built to offer.  Resources you can use to start and build your own small business consulting business in your own home town.  Resources that will help you present yourself as an expert in small business, even if you’ve never personally thought of yourself as an expert before.  Timeless material that you can use as your own to build your own consulting business, no matter what your former field of expertise.

If you’re interested, you can subscribe to the resources and use them as your confidence grows.

You can check us out and test the waters by posting your next speaking event on our calendar, using our notification system to announce your event to all of your contacts, and then finally download and use our free press release software to announce your speech on the internet!

If you’re worried about what to say, or how to get that speaking event, we have the resources to help you with that, from pre-written speeches to templates for flyers and brochures, to templates for direct mail letts, and even the names and addresses of clubs and organizations in your community you can approach about giving a speech.

If you don’t know what to do after you’ve given a speech, we’ll give you private labeled small business management workbooks you can sell or give away at the back of the room, or even small business management training courses you can give by enrolling prospects at these speeches. Heck, we have enough small business training courses for you, that you could almost start your own small business academy!

Of course we have more resources than I’ve mentioned here, and because there are so many, they may not all be posted by the time you get here. If that’s the case, just take what you need for now and come back some time soon to see what we’ve added, especially in the niche services training. You can use what we offer there to start your own specialty practice.

It’s only $47 a month, and the monthly client newsletter you get is worth more than that. It’s produced by folks from one of the top daily financial newspapers in the country, just so “widdle ol’ you” can print and mail something with your name on it, to your clients and prospects.
