Atlanta based company helps small businesses succeed through "transmogrofication"

Charlotte, NC (BlackNews.com) - Sherese Duncan never would have imagined that watching "Lean on Me" would help revolutionize her business.

"My husband and I were watching the movie and we heard Morgan Freeman say 'transmogrify,' and we were like, 'What is transmogrify?' When I found out that it meant to transform something into something completely different, I knew that would be the mantra for my business."

And it has been. Duncan, 38, is president and CEO of Efficio', a Charlotte, N.C. - and Atlanta-based company she started in 2001 to help small businesses go to a higher level in three main areas: profitability, execution and perpetuity. Her motto to get others to transmogrify their businesses dismisses the old adage "think outside the box" and promotes "there is no box.

"When you're thinking outside the box you're putting yourself in the box to start," Duncan said. "I don't even put myself in a box. I go wherever I want. People don't think about what their business looks like without limitations."
