Learn To Be An Owner – Years 1 to 2

Being an owner requires an array of skills and competencies. Unfortunately hardly anyone has all of these when staring out. The good news is that most of these can be acquired over time.

Our “New Owner” program is designed to help you rapidly acquire these necessary skills while operating your business.

We will provide written materials for download that will cover stages 1 to 3.

Stage 1 -A self assessment is free

Stage 2 – Learn the Basics is also free

Stage 3 – Beyond the Basics requires an investment of $250.00 and for that you get

• materials for you to learn the topics in the stage
• Over two years we will hold a monthly 10 minute conversation to go over the topics you covered since the previous month. By the end of the two years you will know more than most new business owners and will be ready for our next program “Breaking Even years 3-4“
