Behind Every Successful Small Business There’s a Woman with an Axe
by Toni Livesey
Not long after Stuart and I got together we had one of those lover’s tiffs that all new couples have. In the middle of it he made the comment that I could have been an axe murderer for all he knew. And that’s something I’ve never let him forget.
For years now Stuart has been working hard to help me build my ‘brand’ even to the point where he let his small affiliate marketing business fade away a few years ago while he concentrated on helping me. Over the weekend he got an offer to become involved in something that he is very good at doing and that could go a long way to building his ‘brand’.
Instead of grabbing the opportunity with both hands he came up with 20 reasons why he couldn’t do it and then wanted to go and hide under the bed. At that point I suggested that he might be about to find out whether I was an axe murderer or not.
There’s nothing like coming face to face with a an axe-wielding woman to change a man’s way of thinking.
