Extrepreneurial Exchange presents 10 Speed Bumps to Small Business Growth

10 Speed Bumps to Small Business Growth

and how to avoid them — an in depth workshop

Are you missing opportunities for growth and profit because you are consumed by the day-to-day operations of running your business? In an action packed four hour workshop, Mike Van Horn, President of the Business Group will help entrepreneurs dig into their own businesses, answering questions, through group discussion, and 1-on-1 problem solving. You’ll leave this workshop with new tools to increase your success.

Mike will cover these key topics:

As small companies grow, the owners outgrow their ways of doing business. Things that used to work just fine no longer work.
Entrepreneurs habitually work with their nose to the grindstone. Busy with day-to-day stuff, we often fail to see things coming along — both bumps in the road and big opportunities. Both can be very costly. They slow growth, suck up profits, and wear you down.

When people say, “Yeah, my business is just bumping along. It just isn’t getting me where I want to go,” Mike can usually you see where you are stuck.

Mike Van Horn, MBA, President of The Business Group, has advised entrepreneurial companies since 1974, on how to grow their businesses and operate with greater ease and profitability. He has authored a dozen books for business owners, including How to Grow Your Business Without Driving Yourself Crazy.
