Are You Sold on Your Business? - Angela Hooper-Menifield

IBGR.Network - PROFIT Radio. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow or exit a business. GROW WITH US.

Introduction

Many entrepreneurs and business owners have found that as their business grows, they are mired in the small details.  None of these things are taxing, difficult to accomplish or overwhelming.  Yet, they nip, nip, nip at our time.  Before we know it, we have spent hours checking off these small things and the day has gotten away from us.  Are these some areas or needs that someone else could do to free us up for the ‘big rocks’?  Would these things allow us to transition from working in our business to working on our business?  What are some other key questions that need to be considered in this thinking?

Today’s episode of “The People Side of Business” with host Angela Hooper-Menifield discusses the value of loving and believing in your business in order to engage, promote and sell it to others - both internal and external stakeholders. 

Angela is a proven HR Professional, leadership coach, trainer, and former leader / manager of thousands of employees.  In this show and this season, she will bring her vast experience and credentials to our listening audience as she speaks into how entrepreneurs can grow their businesses by growing their teams as they overcome challenges.
