Do You Still Have Control Of Your Business?

It’s too easy as a business owner to get pushed around in your dealings with other people.   

And you often feel like you have to do what the other person wants. 

Maybe it's a big client you're bending over backwards for. 

A supplier who you're letting off the hook for not delivering materials on time.  

Or a valuable staff member that you're trying not to disgruntle.  

If you're guilty of anything like this, you're probably aware of how badly it is affecting your business.  

And you know you need to make changes but taking back control can seem like a really difficult thing. 

Well I've got two things to tell you.  

  1. Not having the power in your business is just a race to bankruptcy. 
  2. There are proven strategies out there to take that power back. 

 WHAT YOU’LL GAIN FROM IMPLEMENTING TODAY’S PODCAST:

  • Focus on long-term leadership
  • Use body language and personal power to convey confidence and conrol
  • Build credibility and authority among your staff
  • Control your environment
