Failing to Plan or Planning to Fail?  – Business Planning for the Entrepreneur

Accountability is not a four letter word

Many business owners are fiercely independent entrepreneurs who often ask the question “Why should I be held accountable? I only need to answer to myself!” A better question to ask might be, “Am I happy with the performance of my business?” And if not, “What can I do to improve?” The program will discuss what accountability means to the success of a small business and how to put in place some systems to help you achieve your business goals.
