Abstract:
No More 16-Hour Days! Running your own business-the American dream-can be daunting: long days, none of the freedom you envisioned, no time for family and friends, and the unrelenting pressure to keep up the pace. Worse, all this hard work can only take you so far. To get to the next level, you need to stop being "Super-Employee" and become a leader who sets direction, operationalizes goals, monitors and controls results, and involves others. You need to run your business using an integrated professional management system. Clay Mathile, who grew the Iams Company from 500K to 1 billion in sales, discusses proven management fundamentals applied in a practical way, one that has been used by thousands of business owners. You'll get real-world details that academic courses don't teach-true stories from those who, like Mathile, implemented these fundamentals and thrived. Read this book and discover how to make your business more successful and sustainable and your life more fulfilling!.
