George Hedley, who turned $2,000 into a $50 million company in seven years, provides a perceptive new guide with a simple, real-world solution to running a business smoothly while allowing profits to flow in effortlessly. Get Your Business to Work! 7 Steps to Earning More, Working Less and Living the Life You Want uses tried-and-true methods to help fledgling business owners as well as seasoned ones who are just looking to increase capital and productivity. The book offers a step-by-step process to help small business owners get what they want: profits, wealth, and freedom.
Hedley explains where owners go wrong at each stage while growing their companies and details steps in the book to show how to make the inner-workings of the business more predictable in order to eliminate micromanaging and allow for maximum profitability with minimum stress.
Get Your Business to Work! identifies areas owners struggle in the most:
• Trusting employees and forgoing micromanagement
• Satisfying customers
• Writing business plans and implementing systems
• Marketing and sales
• Pricing and achieving overhead and profit goals
