"Helping people and businesses realize and achieve their maximum potential."

Frances McGuckin says, I'M BACK!

After a twelve-year recovery from a serious brain injury resulting from a motor vehicle accident in 2005, I am now “kind of retired”, but back writing again. Known in my previous life as an award-winning small business expert and best-selling author, I felt honoured to be internationally recognized as the SmallBizPro, ranking No.1 “small business expert and author” on Google in the mid-2000s. Also a motivational speaker, consultant and columnist, my books, Business for Beginners, Big Ideas for Growing Your Small Business and Taking Your Business to the Next Level were published globally in seven languages. Enjoy sample chapters and small business articles on this site. I'm not working in the field of small business now, but have left all the information up to share with you. My two US small business books are still selling after 12 years! See more info below.

I can now say, “Look out world, I’m back!” I thought I would never write or speak again. But now a new “2.0" simplified version of my old self, I want to share my messages of hope, healing and inspiration. My two 2016 videos below will further explain my "new life" philosophies. Since returning to writing, I have two stories published in the new Canadian release: Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Spirit of Canada, 101 Stories of Love and Gratitude, co-authored by Janet Mathews and Amy Newmark. The book, released June 6th, 2017 celebrates Canada’s 150th birthday. Out of thousands of submissions, I am thrilled to be a part of this very special book. You can read “My Log Home Critters” and “This Is How Do It!” in this highly inspirational and historical Chicken Soup edition.
