In the first year of operation the company helped countless individuals and businesses get a better perspective on sales, teamwork, staff development, marketing and technology improvements. 

In the second year a radio station was added to help promote the books and great messages of TXNL members as well as providing a safe platform to enjoy work place music and motivational business topics.

In the third year, Andrea partnered with small business visionaries to offer master minding and business incubation; offering management consulting and training to small and mid size businesses. Together these businesses form Total Solutions and are located at The Business Spa in various locations.

Better Me, Inc. provides opportunities to determine if they have the right solutions for you. Privacy is of the highest consideration and consultations are confidential.

As a result she has created the perfect mix of entrepreneurship, philanthropy, publishing, social networking and leadership through partners and affiliates.

As a talk show host and internet radio producer, Andrea brings new media solutions to her clients and audience members through #TXNLVision with her social media and communications expertise. Solutions were strategically added to TXNL over the years to help clients and partners get trustworthy information; quality services and the most value available.
