Lehigh Valley, Bucks/Mont Chapter

Rising Tide

We became our own boss because we wanted FREEDOM! Freedom to make our own schedules, to not have a cap on our income, to do work that lights us up, to serve clients who make our hearts pitter patter, and to have time to spend with the people we love the most. We did NOT become our own boss to trade our 9-5 jobs for a 24/7 one, spend our days doing admin tasks that we think will take 5 minutes and magically take 13 hours, or feeling guilty when we take a gosh darn day off.

So, then WHY THE HECK DOES THIS HAPPEN?

Because so many business owners run their business like a leaky bucket with duct tape covering the holes. They mask the problems in their business without figuring out how to fix it for good. Most business owners are losing clients, opportunities, money, time, and sanity because of their leaky buckets, and this workbook is the guide you’ve been missing to figure out how to plug those holes for GOOD.
