BONUS: 10X your Business & your Life - Bob Kawabe
It is every business owners’ goal to grow their business. However, as the business grows, so does your time by spending more time on your business. Just like the hamster wheel, the faster the pace, the faster the business owner also got to move. Next thing you know it becomes the vicious cycle that you cannot stop, because when you do, so does your business.
What if you can continue to grow the VALUE of your business, by the way, this will typically increase your bottom line as well, and at the same time you will have more FREEDOM, or the FREE TIME to do what matters the most to you?
We will go over the “8 Key Drivers” that will help you to do exactly that and most importantly, give you that freedom!
*Please make sure to attend the Virtual Workshop before you come to the Summit. The Virtual Workshop will set the foundation necessary to continue to this workshop and achieve best success for you.
