Take
Charge of Your Business
|
|
Do
you feel that instead of running your business,
your business is running you?
Do
you avoid branching outside your comfort zones
into the roles that will grow your business?
|
|
"Solopreneurs" are business owners who wear all
the hats - CEO, CFO, Marketing Expert, Sales Associate, Customer
Service Representative, Administrative Assistant...and the
list goes on. The biggest problem solopreneurs face is they
don't know how to manage all the roles. Poor management in
any area will leave the business unbalanced, resulting in
inconsistent marketing, stagnant sales, and overall frustration
for the business owner.
This class will help you:
|
- Create a clear vision
- Assess the financial picture
of your business
- Focus on priorities
- Increase productivity
|
- Manage yourself
- Strategize a marketing plan
- Sell effectively
- Balance the roles
|
Developing the skills required for each role is a process, however,
you will be learning all the tools you need in this 9-week class.
We will "meet" via conference calls. |
