Profit...it's what we all want for our business but, how might we get there? Sure there are some standard answers like giving the consumer what they want or need.

Meet Desmund Adams, author and the Founder/President/CEO of Focus & Find who will give you some solid examples of how to reach a responsible goal and become more...yes...profitable.
