Are you ready for 2012? Has the last year gone as you planned? Measure twice; cut once is an expression that applies just as aptly to your business as it does to construction. You may not have achieved all you thought you would in 2011 but don’t let a lack of preparation be the cause of a repeat in 2011. You can decide to do everything possible to change in 2012 or choose to just see what happens. Start off right
January and February Only (January is sold out)
In January and February The Fremont Group offers their “Business Boot Camp” You will be assigned a Success Partner who, in one week, will tear your business apart and lay out a plan for SUCCESS IN 2012. They are not “yes men” so be prepared. The Fremont Business Boot Camp is not a seminar—it is an intensive implementation package designed to implement change; not talk about it. If you are not committed to change you should not enlist.
Who is eligible:
Your company must have more than 5 employees and have been in business more than two years. (Call for separate camps for start-up and small firms.)
You must be a “working owner” who is open to change.
You may not have more than 100 employees.
What you will get:
- Your entire company will become focused and “on the same page.”
- Obstacles to achieving your results will be aired, addressed and the entire organization will be utilized to eliminate those obstacles.
- Employee productivity will increase through “buy in” and proper use of accountability and incentives.
- You will have a clear game plan that is designed to “win the game.” You will no longer be the football coach with a game plan that says, “if everything goes right we will only lose by a touchdown.”
- What the bank wants to know and how to present it.
- You will have a foundation for long-term success.
- Your organization will have a new appreciation of your role as owner of the company.
