Several years ago Florida photographer Frank Donnino began telling me about a talk show radio program featuring Dave Ramsey, whose teachings he has been following in an effort to become totally debt free, both personally and professionally. I visited the Ramsey website and was impressed by the common sense strategies he espouses. Soon Frank was informally helping family members, friends, and other photographers get rid of debt that was causing stress or hampering their lifestyles.
Recently Frank informed me that he was officially debt free and that he and his son, Tony, had applied to become certified as official Ramsey debt councilors. Well, the Doninnos made the cut, and in November they will be Certified by the Ramsey organization so they can received referrals from Dave Ramsey directly.
Presently they are helping people by word of mouth, and I am impressed with his goals and how he has structured the service: Frank explains: "We will assist people in taking control of their out of control debt by using Dave Ramsey's teachings about becoming debt free. Through consultations by phone and via email, we can help people who are not only worried . . . but scared to death. A thirty-minute free consult starts the process, and we will not charge anyone unless they wish to take our recommendations and then we will continue to help them."
Most business experts agree that excessive debt, especially in times of economic slowdown, is the number-one business killer. So I'm glad that photographers will now have a place to turn for help, because I'm see far too many photographers whose businesses are crippled because of debt.
