How To Start and Stay in Business 

WORKSHOP

You know how hard it was to launch your small business, but it may be even harder to keep it running smoothly and growing. How do you create a road map to keep your business growing? What can you do when your competition surprises you with the next best product or service? How do you protect the investments you’ve made and avoid legal entanglements that will distract you from running the business? And how do you even diagnose what might be going wrong in order to know what actions to take. This 4-hour workshop will give you tools and techniques to proactively monitor the health of your business and take steps to strengthen it before trouble happens.
