Earl Hadden
Business Breakthrough Mentor
Earl has worked on methods and techniques for database design for large systems and evolved to analytics and information quality. During that time, he read Reengineering the Corporation, one of the top management books of the last 50 years. A key message that got his attention was “Don’t automate any process until it has been reengineered.” It went on to talk about companies that “Paved the Cow Path”. So Earl’s company added Process Improvement to its methods. This soon overtook technology as the major offering of the company.
When Earl retired from corporate consulting, he and his wife Fran, moved back to his home state of North Carolina. After several years of unsuccessful attempts to improve his golf game, Earl started the Small Business Success Project. He applies lessons learned from starting and operating three small businesses (from “solopreneurs” to nearly companies with more than $7.5 million in sales) and methods from his corporate consulting experience to companies ranging from startups to $5 million in sales.
Liz Losey
Director, Marketing & Messaging
Born in Santa Monica California, Liz grew up in the Golden State and took advantage of the weather to enjoy the beach, the mountains, and everything in between. Blessed to have traveled quite a bit growing up, her favorite places are Yosemite, Hawaii, Scotland, and Switzerland.
Liz’s business education began at the early age of six when her father, an internationally prominent business consultant, explained the laws of supply and demand over a pancake breakfast. She went on to earn a Bachelors in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing from Loyola Marymount University where she was very involved in all aspects of college life, including some of her earliest networking as a member of Delta Sigma Pi International Business Fraternity, playing on the NCAA ranked water polo team, and singing in the renowned concert choir and touring in Boston and Carnegie Hall.
After such a diverse selection of interests kept her busy throughout college, Liz knew that she would be ill equipped to handle a 9-5 office job. She pursued training in massage and has enjoyed a fulfilling practice. In 2010, in an effort to diversify her income stream while still maintaining a flexible schedule, Liz went searching for an opportunity. It had to be one that was established and has a recognizable name, could get me in front of large groups of people at once and promoted a product that would change people’s lives. She found all that and more with the Pampered Chef. Finding the most rewarding part of her Pampered Chef business was helping to train others to meet their goals, Liz became a founding partner of Money Mountain System with dad, Earl Hadden to help business owners create systems on their business for greater efficiency and productivity so that they can break through to the next level of success.
Liz is married to Jeffrey and they have a son, Justin who is 14 and a rescue pup named Nai’a.
