Business Boot Camp Groups




Of course, it’s even better when that something new also happensto be something that adds terrific value to your business.

With those two things in mind (new and adding value) I would like to tell you more about the Business Boot Camp™. It is exactly the sort of program small business owners have been asking for.

Research from lthe 2007 Good to Great event indicates that business owners want to be educated about the following:

  • Understand their business

  • Understand their financials

  • Understand problems and solutions

  • Enhance business ownership skills
In addition, business owners also mentioned that they enjoyed the opportunity to meet with other business owners to talk and learn about business processes. The Business Boot Camp™ is an opportunity for small business owners to come together and develop their CEO skills, and in turn create extraordinary businesses and extraordinary lives. Business Boot Camp™ groups are now forming.

Contact Brenda Richter, CPA for information on how you can get involved in a Business Boot Camp group.

Also, if you know any other business owners who might be interested, please share this information with them.

Life

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.

Your business is the means for creating those moments.

What to do About Non Performing Team Members

Peter Drucker once said:

“Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to
tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs."

My friend Scott Heintzelman, CPA has written an excellent blog expanding on this concept. I encourage you to read it.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ronald Reagan once said,
“There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits to human
intelligence, imagination and wonder.”

Earlier this year, I sent business owners the book Finish Strong by Dan Green and inspired them to dedicate 2009 as the year to Finish Strong! As we search for way to Finish Strong this Thanksgiving, in addition to being thankful for friends, family and good health, we can be thankful for our intelligence, imagination and wonder. For these are the things that will bring our businesses growth and prosperity during the next year.
