Description

Why do so many small businesses fail?

(over 50% don't even make it 5 years, 70% fail by 10 years)


If you've ever felt overwhelmed and told yourself that growing a small business was impossible, you're not alone. I know how hard it is to build a sustainable small business. I am a small business owner myself.


I thought that building a profitable small business meant 1,000 hours of work per week. Or squeezing every last dime out of every vendor. Or peddling my services in the streets until the cows come home.


What I found was that I didn't need to do any of these things. I simply needed to understand how to apply the fundamental business growth concepts that have been around for decades.


These principles are simple and effective. I needed to understand what these concepts were and how they applied to small businesses.


All of a sudden, I didn't feel so alone. Other business owners had navigated the same situations I was going through and used proven principles to position their companies for growth and I knew I could too.


This year one of my businesses will be celebrating its 11th year in business and the other will be celebrating its 5th year in business. Both are profitable and have been for years.


This course will take complicated concepts written about in Harvard Business Review and taught in MBA schools across the country and make them understandable for the everyday small business owner.


This course covers the 7 key concepts that business leaders leverage to position their company for sustainable growth and provide context for good decision making.


Learn how to position your company for growth using the same strategies and principles that top executives in the world's largest companies are taught to use.


Click on the 'Enroll now' button so you can stop struggling for sales and start growing your small business.


Are you ready to take your business to the next level? Learn the key business growth concepts so you can start applying them to your business today.


Click on the "Enroll now" button and I will see you on the other side!
