EMERGING 200

Apr 16, 2009

Who is ready to STEP IT UP?

Ask yourself

  • Am I the owner or CEO of my business and do I have strategic decision-making authority?
  • Have we been in business for 3 or more year and does my business generate at least $400,000 in annual gross revenue?
  • Does my business have a payroll which includes at least one staff person besides me, including part-timers and contractors?
  • Is my business clearly beyond the start-up stage, and do I have a basic idea of where I want my business to be in 3 years?
  • Do I want to position my business for significant growth or operational improvement?
  • Has my business achieved success but still lacks a clear vision and a strategic map for significant growth?
  • Do I have significant business experience/knowledge that will add value to the learning of other experienced and successful business owners?
  • Am I willing and able to commit the time needed for this program – both in the classroom and in preparation for the classes?
