| Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs |
Frustrated with working more and earning less than your staff?
If you're like many small business owners, you work longer and harder than everyone around you, including your staff. Could it be that.....
- You are uncomfortable holding your staff accountable?
- You are fed up with not taking vacations?
- You seem to be working on the busy work and never getting to the important stuff (like marketing and revenue generating)?
- You feel like a gerbil are on a treadmill, working harder and harder with less and less results?
- You desire to automate and systematize your work processes but have no idea where to start?
- You yearn to become the leader that you know you could be if only.....?
Or perhaps, you are a small business wanna be and are overwhelmed with where to start.
