"Attending the SMS 3-Day Business Workshop completely changed my perspective on my business. SMS made me realize that the biggest thing holding me back was myself, and that as long as I understood my numbers, I could make major changes while working within the realms of what I was financially comfortable with. They gave me not only the knowledge, but the confidence to take smart risks.  Less than a year later, I have a beautiful home studio, am projecting a 30% increase in my average for 2010 and most importantly, am running the business model I want and am seeing the difference and rewards in my sales." - Michelle Lindsay Caucutt - Michelle Lindsay Photography, Alexandria, VA
