PC Coach goes long...

Some everyday software programs can be a royal pain if you don't know how to use them effectively. When they're really troublesome, they can even cost you time instead of saving it.

In 1997 Donna Metzger declared herself formally open for business as the PC Coach. Today, as PC Coach & Associates, she works with several other "coaches" to deliver onsite training and consultation services and, now, seminars in their small training facility on the east side. Donna said she'd been talking about doing this for 3 years.

"I knew I had to grow when I woke up one day and realized I had no life," says Donna. "Tax season was always extremely busy," she said, "but all of last year, the speed and amount of business didn’t slow down at all." She counts her time networking in that calculation because "That's how I market." And that networking is bringing results.

"You never want to turn away business," says Donna. "It just doesn’t look positive. But it’s hard to let go and let someone else completely do something. You worry about leaving your customers in other people's hands." So far, she says she's been doing a lot of supervising, but gradually letting go, a little at a time.
