About Us

Mynders Glover and Debra LaQua are co-founders of Business Building Shortcuts, an Internet business which focuses on helping emerging marketers put the basic building blocks into place to develop their online business (Your Web Home, Your Voice, Your Products), combined with the right actions to actually build their businesses.

Mynders and Deb work with those who want to avoid the confusion, frustration and time-intensity of learning a new technology or business building system, and instead, focus simply on the core of what is needed to get fast results.

They begin with the 3 basic business building modules accompanied by templates on how to put these tools into action to build a business:

1. Setting up your web presence (Blog and Website): How to quickly and easily set yourself up on the web and expand your presence. Coordinating your image across the various online media.
2. Helping you create your Voice (Articles, Social Marketing, Listbuilding): Setting up the tools, techniques and shortcuts to help you stay in touch with your prospects and customers in the most effective and efficient ways possible.
3. Creating Products and Delivering Your Content to Your Market: Using Teleseminars, Audio/Video, pdf reports, affiliate products, and more to build and grow an online business.

Mynders and Deb love to share what they have learned, and find that the more they share with others, the more they learn.
