Many businesses lack adequate systems to get things done efficiently and effectively in their businesses. Everything from how the phone is answered to processing refunds to running successful promotions and events can be systematized. Standards should be put in place, so everyone knows what is expected of them and their job position. Systemizing your business…
Do you take time off throughout the year? I have a timeshare in Cocoa Beach, Florida. For one glorious week every year I go there and sit on the beach, eat good food, rest, have fun and for the last couple years have been blessed to have shared that time with my love. Can’t you…
What’s the fastest way to grow your business? It’s not tricks and tactics. It’s not the latest bright shiny object or fancy software that’s just come out.
