Are You Lazy Enough to be Successful? (30 minute keynote)

You may have worked like a Tasmanian devil to get where you are. But now that you’ve reached a place of leadership you need to face three important facts: (1) You’re exhausted. (2) The pace is not sustainable. And (3) The skills that got you there cannot take you where you need to go. So what do you want your business to BE? And who do you need to BE to lead your business into its next phase?

The Solution to Small Business Slavery (30-minute keynote)

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you didn’t have to be on the hamster wheel? What it would be like to have nights and weekends off? It’s something that many entrepreneurship courses don’t address. It’s something that many consultants don’t name until you’re already a multi-million dollar company and they are expensively trying to undo what it took you years to build. It’s this: how can your company make more money and create more value, more consistently, without your working any harder? That’s the Solution to Small Business Slavery.

Creating Quantum Business Alliances (90-minute workshop)

Want a quantum leap in your business? Consider the power of strategic partnerships.

But what kind of alliances make sense for your company? How do you find those with which you’ll have a real affinity and shared values? And when is right for your business?

How to Build Your Business to Cash Out Big (90 minute workshop)

On the outside, you look successful. On the inside, though, your company is sucking the life-blood out of you. A nagging question haunts you: What’s next? You’ve been so busy climbing the mountain, you haven’t thought about what to do at the summit. Do you keep growing your company for its own sake? Is your business supporting the life you want to leave? If you took a step back or turned over the reins, would all fall apart? You may have scaled the mountain, but have you sufficiently scaled your business? Have you found a way to get yourself out of the way?
