As a small entrepreneurial business owner, you will never get the life you want and reach the goals you want for your business without systematizing your business.
Profile
Most entrepreneurial business leaders are experts in their field. Still, they struggle with the complexities involved in scaling their business, with less than half of entrepreneurial businesses surviving more than five years.
A serial entrepreneur myself, I have “been there” and “done that” when it comes to both successful and less than successful ventures.
Today, I coach small business entrepreneurs in building and structuring their businesses more like a franchise – i.e., scalable and systems-based – rather than a “job” that leaves them running on an everlasting hamster wheel, tried, burned out, and frustrated.
