Entrepreneurs Building a Sustainable Business

Lee Robinson, Corporate Enhancement

Returned by Popular Demand

Many businesses are started from a desire to "be your own boss", but Starting and running a business is not easy as it seems.

It's not rocket science and it can be managed.

Many entrepreneurs leave their enterprise unstructured often to their eventual detriment

Entrepreneurs can, however, structure a new business so that it will grow, while increasing profits and keeping costs down, leaving more on the bottom line and some time to enjoy it.

Guest speaker Lee Robinson returns to introduce basic principles of structuring for growth, flexibility and profitability. This presentation will look at structuring your business to survive waves of turbulence in uncertain economic times. Whether you are starting a business, already have a business or manage part of a business, join Lee for this enlightening presentation - learn the tools you require to build and structure a long lasting and flexible enterprise.
