Thursday, May 31st, 2018 @ 8:30 a.m.
Webinar #5:
“Why Most Businesses Are Lost and Drifting Aimlessly”

Description:

Way too many businesses are caught in the day to day “fire fights” of running their business. Through sheer determination and a little bit of luck they survive, but they never thrive. They are just hanging on for their dear life. This month’s webinar will focus on the need for every business to have a roadmap pointed to a clearly defined destination, a strategic plan. We’ll talk about how you can forego the time consuming, expensive and often painful process of building a strategic plan through a simplified process called the “one-page” plan. Our goal for you…an actionable, simple, living, strategic plan that you will really use to take steady consistent steps towards your company’s growth, sustainability and profitability.
