Hello, my name is Debora. I reside in Canada,Alberta. At present I am a manager for Best Western's Wine & Liquor Shop. Prior to this I didn't have much to do with business. This job has taken me into an area that I thought I would not be interested. Since Feb of 2007 our sales increase to date is sitting at 43%. Not being an expert I didn't know this was neither good nor bad. Since I have been working I found I have a passion for all that makes a business succesful. My favorite aspect is Marketing and Promotions. We are moving right along.
What drove me here is a search for sites that would assist me in working forward on the next steps. I am now learning about setting business goals etc. Last year I set the goal to repeat the same increase of 23%. I think this year that will slow a bit. I am not sure what is a normal percentage growth. Anyways sorry for babbling on. I am looking foward to reading the posts, using the toolbox and enjoying the learning along side all of you.

Happy New Year Everyon
Debora
