October 17th, 2018 | hereschicago

Do these business issues frustrate you and devour all your precious time when planning and working on events?

People: Not performing, not on the same page and just not wanting to be there.

Profit: You work long hours and there is little to show for it.

Control: Your business owns you. There is no time for family or friends.

Growth: It’s just not there, you have “hit the ceiling”.

Quick fixes of the week: They have not worked and just frustrate your people.
