Bliss in a Bubble – In the moment – my favorite place to be. As a creative outlet, I enjoy ‘Heavy Breathing Just Before Midnight‘ – a series of podcasts on fun, interesting, and random topics that I share at sandimaki.com. At InSights Group – I mastermind, coach, consult, and use Organic Marketing to empower businesses tell their stories to the world to become more productive and profitable – especially in the online world. I am also a coach and take on personal clients to help empower positive changes and growth within their lives and businesses. I have experience in many areas of philosophy and psychology including face reading, personality studies and motivation, as well as many holistic modalities such as Reiki Master, and core-conscious transformation. With Legendary Escapes I’m a partner in a trio of swimming pool companies from construction to service to online sales – we are changing the industry – and the experience of customers across the country – based in Brighton, MI.

Patience and calm are my ultimate competitive advantages. I stick with a project until I’m convinced it’s finished and with a client until we’re both satisfied with the work I’ve done.

Dr. Phil says “no matter how flat you make a pancake, it always has two sides. Top is a side, bottom is a side, AND the side is also a side. So, in my opinion, every pancake has 3 sides. So my advantage is that I question things and try to look at them another way to understand them better. (Not that this always works!)
Half full? Half empty? For me the glass is almost always full. Unless it is floating around in outer space, typically a part will be water and the rest is air.

Nothing is impossible. There is always a way do something. It might alter a little on the way, but I will figure out how to make it work. Whether it is marching a tuba, opening an art gallery with no money or making a shack feel like a mansion on a shoe string budget. I look for the impossible and strive to accomplish it!
Rebecca Osterman says:
I listen more than I talk. Even if this drives my husband insane from time to time, in my graphic design business it is a huge benefit to my clients. By listenting closely, I can better understand what they want and need and in turn make it a reality.
Amy Iverson says:
I am a tell-it-like-it-is gale. There is not much fluff and puff with me. This helps me with business and home life. Customers, vendors, employees and my kids all know what I expect and what they can expect of me. To this day I ruffle feathers with my blunt and honest answers. I also get a lot of laughs because it is so unexpected. Be careful what you ask, I may confirm what you already know.
