She told me how she built this agency up all by herself into what it now is -- a $10 million a year agency that supplies temporary office help and high-level consulting services to major corporations. She's the sole owner of the company and that there is no debt, and there was well-deserved pride in her voice when she told me that. I told her how impressed I was at how well she had done, and she received the compliment graciously and seemingly gratefully as well. |
