Black and White Strike Gold

---

When Sandi Webster and Peggy McHale, racially-mixed business partners, set out to launch their own consulting company in 2002, they had years of corporate experience and plenty of research to guide their way.   But none of it prepared them for the difficulties of landing their first paying client, hiring the right staffers, or the downside—yes downside—of their company hitting the million-dollar level. Through lots of trial-and error, they persevered and took notes! 

Now Sandi and Peggy have gathered 52 of their most valuable nuggets in this book designed to answer all of the questions you always wanted to ask about business but were afraid to ask, such as: 

• Should you share every detail about the company finances with your team? 
• How do you recognize a partnership that’s gone bad—and get out of it? 
• How do you keep a business going in a failing economy? 
• Can you really have a multi-million dollar business and work from home? 

In this brutally honest look at the daily trials and tribulations of being a small business owner, Sandi and Peggy tackle motivational, financial and social topics with their own personal spin on how all three impacted their consulting business. Their story of how they made the shift from the corporate world to entrepreneurial success will make you laugh at some situations and nod your head in acknowledgment at others. You’ll leave knowing that you are not alone and maybe you too will find some gold at the end of the road.
