Your Partner In Success Radio Show

This week I welcome to the show George Krueger and Mary-Lynn Foster of  Bigg Success.com. We are going to talk about “Entrepreneuring in Times of Uncertainty” and George and Mary-Lynn will share what it means to live life on your own terms and why tough times are RIPE with opportunity for entrepreneurs.

How George & Mary-Lynn Live Life on Their Own Terms

George Krueger: I realized early in my career that I wanted to work for myself. My Mom wasn’t thrilled; she wanted me to get a job for a large organization so I had security. I chose a different path. Over the last 27 years, I’ve owned, managed and invested in a number of businesses, franchises, and real estate.

About fourteen years ago, I was offered the opportunity to teach Entrepreneurial Finance at the University of Illinois. I discovered that I had a passion for teaching and learning. By the way, when my Mom would introduce me to people, this is what she focused on!

Bigg Success combines all my passions, including working with a certain young lady named Mary-Lynn. We’re partners personally and professionally. It wouldn’t work for everyone, but it works for us! That’s life on my own terms!

Mary-Lynn Foster: I’m so lucky that my parents listened to WGN-AM radio out of Chicago when I was growing up. That’s how I decided my profession, and credit that to Bob Collins, “Uncle Bobby”. He was such an amazing broadcaster…smart, funny, creative, caring, and everybody loved him. He inspired me to get into radio.

I spent 18 years as a radio broadcaster, moving from city to city while climbing to the prime time shift of hosting morning radio. In addition to being recognized by the Illinois Broadcasters Association for my radio shows over the years, I also won several awards for my audio production.

I came to a crossroads in my career and life not too long ago. I wanted to host a show that really helped people, but my creative desires didn’t fit the format of the station I worked at. Also, my industry as a whole was and is still going through tough times, and moving somewhere could be risky. In addition to that, I was engaged to George! He makes me so happy and I didn’t want to be away from him. He is truly my best friend, and I want us to have many wonderful experiences together.

Bigg Success lets me have the type of show I’ve always dreamed of, and it lets me work with George, my co-host on the show and in life! I get to combine my broadcasting and production talents, while learning new skills as an entrepreneur. I’m living life on my own terms and loving it!

Are you charging the fees you deserve right now?

Do you get nervous when you have to talk money with prospects and clients?

Is all of this “doom and gloom” we’re hearing about in the news about the economy getting you worried?

Then you don’t want to miss my BlogTalkRadio “Your Partner in Success” show this Friday.

This is a FREE call where I’m going to be interviewing Tom Buford, founder of ChargeWhatYouDeserve.com on the topic of fee-setting and how you can charge what you deserve.

Here are a couple of questions that I’m going to ask Tom:

“What do you tell your clients about setting and raising fees even in a slow economy?”

“Can setting your fees too low have a negative impact on attracting clients?”

“What are some tips to effectively communicate your fees with confidence?”

This interview will be this Friday, September 26, at Noon EST. Please check http://time.gov for your correct time zone.
