Learn Key Strategies and Solutions for Growing Your Business and Increasing Profits in Today’s Turbulent Economic Times and Have Some Fun in Northern California


The current economic and political climate in the United States is more challenging than most who read this can recall over the past several decades. This fact demands new ideas and strategies as well as creative and innovative solutions that will help business owners build and maintain financial security for their business. While there is no silver bullet available to any of us, there are actionable activities and procedures we can all put in place to help us through these very difficult economic times.

Four well-known and respected colleagues have come together to produce four three-day seminars that will provide the best retail strategies and solutions available in the market place today. These unique and one of a kind seminars have been carefully crafted by Brad Huisken, John Thedford, and David Johns. This distinguished and experienced group has worked together over time and three of them have managed one of the most successful retail and financial services organizations in the United States according to the Gallup Organization.

Additionally, John holds a number of awards for outstanding performance among his peers and serves as an advisor to the MBA program at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida.

He is best known for his presentations on how to select the best talent for any position and is one of the few instructors in the United States qualified to interpret Thurstone Temperament Schedules.
