Why work with our Partners?
When I was Michael E. Gerberâs Master Licensee for Canada, countless business men (yes, mostly men!) from across Canada and the US approach me to share stories of how Michaelâs book, The E-Myth: Why Most Small Businesses Fail and What to Do About It, enabled them to grow their business exponentially.
Scaling from one location to five, or from $600k in sales to $35M in sales. I was astounded. The analyst in me wondered what the global economic impact of The E-Myth actually was. But there was no way to measure at the time⌠until now.
My dream is to measure the social AND economic impact of business systemization done right.
Iâm not talking about bureaucracy or soul-sucking systems. Iâm talking about the kind of systemization that empowers people, inspires creativity and fosters collaboration, as described in my book, The Possibility Process: A Proven Method to Achieve Breakthrough Business Results. And I finally have the basic infrastructure in place to help Economic Development Professionals do just that.
Join me in learning more about Systems Leadership. You donât want a one-size-fits-all approach. You need a flexible approach that puts your lifestyle, your livelihood and the needs of your team FIRST. Together we can stretch the outer limits of whatâs possible.
