Gerry Lamanski

My unique industrialized skill sets in combination with decades of experience in marketing are a direct result of the participation in various small businesses for over 30 years. The time management strategy that I employ is the 80/20 rule. Eighty percent hands on, roll up your sleeves, nuts and bolts, brick and mortar type activity and twenty percent administration and support of the 80%. I can teach this strategy.
