What You Will Learn
Managing a growing business can take business owners in the kitchen and bath industry to the very limits of their personal, emotional, and financial resources and beyond. That’s when a business often takes on a life of its own and spirals out of control. The good news is there are proven systems and strategies that can be learned and implemented to take back control and, ultimately, reap consistent, predictable financial rewards. The real challenge lies in knowing your enemy, facing the facts and taking disciplined action. To conquer that challenge requires understanding the three main obstacles to business growth and success that every company faces at one time or another. Confusion, inconsistent results, conflict and lack of profitability can all be tracked back to one or more of these common components. Dealing with them effectively will change how you do business and set your company on a course for long-term profitability.
Learning Objectives
- Building an infrastructure that can withstand the weight (and chaos) of business growth.
- Fostering a culture of independent, proactive thinkers focused on a compelling common cause.
- Systemizing everything in your business to run without you.
