Are you a FUTURE business operations EXPERT?
If so, you may become a HIRED GUN that many businesses will need in the future, especially as we transition into the “Knowledge Worker” era. Operations and systems allow entrepreneurs to focus on (and leverage) their expertise and passions – and not worry about the running of their repeatable business tasks – although those systems are the key to long term success.
Michael Gerber, the author of ‘The E-Myth’ – a bestselling book that focuses on the importance of business systemization: “Most businesses fail to fully achieve their potential. That’s because the person who owns the business doesn’t truly know how to build a company that works without him or her – which is the key.”
(Yes or No)
Living by LISTS:
- Do you make lists?
- Everyday?
- If you do something not on the list, do you go back and add it on the list and then check it off.
Attention to DETAIL:
- Are you detail oriented?
- Are you the one who makes sure a task is COMPLETE?
- Do you dot the I’s and cross the T’s?
- And then PROOF read everything, one last time?
- (Although this won’t be your role) Have you had experience in accounting, legal, or planning (or even being the main organizer of your high school reunion)?
So what’s in it for you? OSMOSIS!
I was where you were just 4 years ago, and I have become the industry expert in just those four years, and to take my business to the next level I need help getting processes in place – so I need you. Here’s what I will give you:
- My BLUEPRINT so that you can achieve the same stature in your field
- My KNOWLEDGE from over $50,000 of marketing, strategy, and Internet marketing teaching and resources (all purchased after university).
- My SHORTCUTS to catapult your EXPERTISE (and reputation) on the Internet
- Your EXPERIENCE in working with a high-performing VIRTUAL team (the next big skill!)
- The DEAL: $20 / hour for 20 hours per week for 6 to 8 weeks (maybe longer if mutually agreed upon)
If you are STILL interested, you can apply if…
- You are not a whiner, complainer, or someone who needs to have their hand held
- You want to have your OWN business in the next year or two & you just want to be immersed in another business before you start your own.
- You are ready for a WILD ride as I explode my business to a hyper-level in my industry in the next year
