We are hosting MITEF Savvy Entrepreneur Series workshop to share best practices to help Entrepreneurs get what they want out of their business by helping their organization to clarify, simplify, and achieve their vision.
? Workshop starts at 3:15 PM
? Mike Kotsis, Professional EOS Implementer, from www.GPSforSmallBusiness.com will share his experience at Optiant ? a startup software company providing consulting services with inventory optimization solutions to the fortune 1000; headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts plus his large corporate work (Dell Computer), small family business turnaround (Atlas Wholesale Food Co), and providing entrepreneurs/founders EOS (Entrepreneurs Operating System) consulting.
? Attendees will walk away focused, clear on priorities and issues, healthier as a leadership team, and using tools to help them gain more traction.
How many times have we heard that it?s not the idea, but the execution that is the key to success? Founders of all startups experience this basic challenge. Often this means having a long-term vision along with having to deal with the day to day challenges of the here and now.
Even the most successful entrepreneurs occasionally find running a business more challenging than they expected. Many work longer hours and get less return on their investment of time and money than they would like, and can feel overwhelmed and burned out with the onslaught of business problems.
It?s not unusual to feel a lack of control on the business, see a management team in disarray or confused, get poor financial results, unpredictable growth, and a have tendency to tinker with remedies or fixes, none of which provide a stable foundation upon which to build a company.
If that sounds like you, you?re not alone and it doesn?t have to be that way. In this dynamic presentation, Mike will introduce you to the Six Key Components of successful businesses. He?ll arm you with a set of simple, actionable, and practical tools you and your leadership team can begin using right away to get better results. The session includes question and answer time to address your specific questions.
