Do you know what each job entails in running your bed and breakfast"?

Do you know who is responsible for which task?


If you answered "no" to either question, then this eGuide is for you.

Developing a thorough knowledge of your bed and breakfast before you purchase it is important to your success. Many innkeepers skim over that step and consequently struggle with their B&Bb success. Whether you are starting at the beginning or regrouping for success, my ebooks are for you.

"Your eBooks are good, and I learned quite a few things from them. In the Marketing eBook I especially like the way you worked through branding. The concept is very difficult for the average person to understand. It's part discipline, I think, and many people don't want to stay disciplined or focused. We can't be everything to all people. Regarding the worksheets found in each book, I think these are very useful, but only if the people work at them seriously and honestly." --Bobbi Zane Editor and Publisher, Yellow Brick Road, the newsletter of Innsight for Aspiring Innkeepers


Knowing what tasks need to be done and in what order is something you might not have anticipated, until you were in the middle of running your inn. Make life easier and business smoother by being prepared with job descriptions and checklists so everyone knows what's expected of them. Quality inns offer consistency. Checklists aid consistency. Job descriptions support your training efforts, making for a faster and smoother transitition to seasoned employee.

Most innkeepers don't sufficiently research the bed and breakfast industry before getting into it.

Educate yourself completely, before you buy and open your bed and breakfast.


    The Seminar Collection is made of the five Seminar eBooks
    which are each from a half-day module of my Indepth Seminar, The Innkeeping Balancing Act: Business vs Hospitality, on being a successful B&B innkeeper. Information found in my eBooks is based on what I've learned from innkeepers across the U.S and Canada as well as Europe. I've learned from successful and struggling innkeepers alike. Absorb details that will help you gain profits more readily.
