Welcome

Are you a professional, small business owner or entrepreneur who is good at what you do, but find that running a business is something altogether different?

Are you like Mary G. who worked for a large company?  She received frequent recognition for her work. She was given awards and was taken to lunch. She felt she could “do it better” and started her own business. She is now struggling to balance doing the work, managing the paperwork, getting paid and developing new clients. She seems to always be behind on jobs and no one is taking her to lunch anymore.

Autumn_treesOr Bob P. who started a professional services firm with an eye on creating equity in the business that would allow him to sell his business eventually, but he had never received training on how to run a business.

Are you creating equity in your business or do you simply have a job? Are you running a business but find that you less energy, less productivity, and more problems? Is the only equity in the business what you put into it daily with your knowledge and presence?

You want a business that works for you rather than you working for the business. You want to be sure that the work you put into your business produces more rewards than if you worked for someone else. You want a business that:

  • Does not require your constant attention for producing results.

  • Frees you to work on and grow your business consistent with your long-term goals and the legacy that is important to you.

  • Has meaning and purpose.

  • Allows you to have balance and more enjoyment in your life.

You want to be like Mike B. who proudly told me how he was introduced by his leadership team to a new client of his business that they were solely responsible for bringing in and were responsible for servicing.

Our clients have found:

  • Their businesses no longer run their lives. They now run their businesses.

  • They now have a plan for creating long-term equity for themselves rather than having a job they call a business.

  • They have increased productivity and profit.

To learn more about the issues we helped our clients with go to the next section Who We Work With.

 
  To build a high-performance team that is concerned with the success of your business you must have people who love the work they do and have a high degree of learned self-awareness. Team members need to be included in decisions that impact the growth and success of the organization, which fulfills their need for self- actualization. In addition, critical team members need to have the opportunity for profit sharing or obtaining equity in the business. And because people do not work solely for a paycheck, you need to care about and support their larger goals if you want them to care about your business’s larger goals. Take the time to talk with your employees, and find out what their 5-year goals are.
