Is there anything in your business that you would like to be better?  Maybe just to …

• be better organized,
• increase profits – maybe 2X or even 3X (… how about within the next 5 months, even?),
• have a team that truly cares about your business,
• make work flow more smoothly … and profitably,
• no more costly call-backs;
• no more late-nights, missing dinner yet again (and no more missing family functions);
• finally having time to take FUN family vacations, let alone couple get-aways;
• ensure a successful & lucrative sale of your business?
• _________________ (Go ahead.  Fill in the blank.)  ?

And would you like to progress faster and more easily than you’re doing on your own?

7 months!

Just think …

With the proper accountability support … what could you accomplish while turning your business around in the course of 7 months?

IMAGINE … just imagine …

Read what Hugh Brannon of CHW Cabinetry / CHW Outdoor / CHW Signs
Businesses of Carolina Handcrafted Woodworks, LLC says:

“Before working with Lynne I felt so out of control! I was doing great work and getting great referrals but couldn’t stay on top of anything. I was always working — evenings, weekends, you name it — but I never had money in my pocket. I felt like I was in over my head, like I was drowning.

I decided to work with Lynne based on her promises. They gave me hope. It was a little scary to take that step but she has made good on all of them!

I am no longer afraid to spend money. Before working with Lynne, I had done everything I could to get out of debt but it was paralyzing me. I didn’t have enough people to do the work that needed to be done and I needed equipment. Lynne helped me realize that as long as I had a good plan, spending money is a good thing! Like hiring people to take the pressure off of you, allowing yourself to be creative instead of doing menial tasks.

Within 9 months of first working with MLJ International we have doubled our business. I rarely work Fridays anymore and I leave everything to other people, which makes my wife happy, as well.

For people who are thinking about investing in their business by working with Lynne I ask you “How long have things been going the way they are?”

You’ve got to accept and understand that you need help. You’ve just got to do it. This isn’t a risk. Having someone help you and coach you from the outside, looking in, is key because you can’t see it.

It is a leap of faith because you’re spending money but I recuperated my initial investment within 1 or 2 deals just by making a couple of tweaks.

Working with MLJ International was money well spent. I have no regrets. I firmly believe that most everyone who owns their own business needs a coach.

I used to have a picture on my desk that read “Why do today what you can put off ‘til tomorrow?” Needless to say, that sign is gone now!”

Hi, Friend

Is there anything in your business that you would like to be better? And would you like to progress faster and more easily?

Like in 7 months!

How about if you ask yourself …. “What was I struggling with 7 months ago?”     (With how much of that are you STILL struggling?)

Then ask yourself … “With the proper accountability support, what could I accomplish while turning my business around over the next 7 months?”

IMAGINE … just imagine

• Surpassing your 3-year Vision within a year-and-a-half! … containing your biggest dreams possible.  (Wayne said, when he accomplished this: “You know, Lynne, we really don’t even know how to dream.” So true … in the beginning. He went from “throwing in the towel” … through working with me (starting in a 1-year program) … to … Today he flies his own plane to take his PMs to jobsites! Not to mention the 3-5-day impromptu getaways with his wife or a buddy.)
• Nailing the time-management piece of your days, your weeks, your months, your quarters, such that you complete everything in your 1-year non-traditional business plan inside of 9 months!
• Following through … all the way to pay-dirt … on what you put in your calendar, that you know will get you that much closer to your 1-year plan and your (likely 1st-ever) 3-year Vision;
• Finally being in control of that Cash-Flow Beast, having tamed it once-and-for-all, so that taking your personal, couple and family vacations becomes as normal as making payroll;
• Leading the best team you’ve ever had … and ever imagined you’d ever have; a team of caring, plugged-in, “how can I help you, Boss?” members of your business family … all by your daring to become the best leader imaginable;
• Being in a position to choose to accept (or not) your customer’s invitations to bid on sweet jobs, along with only 2 of your neighbours who are also professional business owners, based on the FUN factor of the project for you;
• Actually living a FUN Life outside of the Business … and bringing that FUN back into your business to share with the whole team — your Business Family.

Introducing to you …

Trade-Contractors’ Business Training / 7 Simple Strategies 4 Success

During this 7-month group online program you will:

• Create a strategy for rapid sustainable growth;
• Develop critical support systems;
• Balance work and family life ….
• Map out the Route to a successful transition of your business to (one of) your key employees … a transition where you actually get paid for your business in precisely the way you and your employee initially agreed.

Remember Freedom 55 (if you’re Canadian)?  Within 10 years Wayne went from … throwing in the towel … to Freedom 52!

Here are the 7 key strategies which I’ve dramatically simplified with rubber-hits-the-road tried-and-true tactics:

1. Design Your Creation: Construct a Compelling 3-Year Vision — You can’t get where you’re going until you know where you are. This strategy helps you get crystal clear on where you’re going with goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, rewarding and timely.
2. Map-Out the Route: Plan Time to Plan Business Development and Honour It! — Implementation is one of the biggest challenges for small business owners. Discover how to get the right stuff done to grow your business without having to worry about the minutia of others things that don’t grow your business.
3. Follow Through on Your Ideas: Understand What TRULY Stops You — Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” Discover what stops you from achieving your goals and murder this demon.
4. Tame The Cash-Flow Beast: Get Out of Fear of DEBT — Discover how to manage your capital to spark rapid growth in your income.
5. Find, Hire, Train & Retain Them: Lead an ALL-STAR Team — Turn your staff into a full-service support system that allow you to be away from the office without worrying about what’s going on when you’re not there.
6. Get Referrals from Impressed Clientele: Help Your Customers Market Your Services for You — Drill down on these powerful tactics and a steady stream of new “ideal” customers will be asking to work with you.
7. GET A LIFE (Outside of The Business): Love What You Do. Do What You Love. You’ll Never again have to say you’re sorry for not being there. When you become a master at prioritizing your activities, you’ll balance business and family time with ease.

This resurrected “entrepreneurial training” (did I mention that this program very robustly ran for more than a decade? … helping 100s of contractors enjoy  Much MORE success than they had ever imagined?)  includes, not only:

• A workbook with simple, powerful exercises for each of my 7 simplified Key Business Strategies;

• 2 1-hour LIVE training video-seminars per month for 7 months to show you exactly how to apply each strategy to your business, which include a Q&A section with me, personally. This means you’ll have the opportunity to share your challenges and get help applying these strategies to overcome them, or sit back and hear other business owners just like you sharing their challenges and getting help applying these strategies to overcome them;

• Downloadable recordings of each of the 2 training sessions per month for the duration of the program … 7 months;

Also …

Networking Opportunities:

7SS4S / Trade-Contractors’ Business Training now takes place via Zoom, making it even easier and more comfortable-feeling for people in the group to hook up – via private texting — to help each other to follow through in making the changes you want in your business, as accountability partners, let’s say;

Partnering Opportunities:

• to share in projects – an awesome way to acquire more manpower for a sweet project with very handsome profit margins for which you simply do not have the manpower in the moment;
• by having someone to whom one can hand projects over, those projects which don’t suit you so much anymore and maybe never did! (especially as you hear my FUN teachings! 😁).

Mentoring Opportunities:

• Training is one thing – easily and effectively done in a group setting, such as this one;
• Advising is another – best done in a 1-on-1 setting (options for this, of course, are also available);
• Coaching is yet another – while some “group coaching” is beneficial the best, to get to the real root of the problem, is always best done 1-on-1 … which may be a good add-on for you;
• Consulting, even another yet – where the Consultant comes into your company, does an overview and tells you, typically with a multi-page book-sized report, what needs to be done to get to where you want to be … and walks away; and

Mentoring … is from someone who has been there & done that, still has the t-shirt & fond memories of the war-wounds to show for and share about it … and who can share their experiences & solutions with you, providing you with “short-cuts” that you, until you’ve been through the experience, couldn’t possibly see.

Mentoring opportunities in this program are for the “giver” as well as the “receiver.”  Undoubtedly there will be contractors at a “more-experienced” level than your business and you, as an entrepreneur, are at …

… as well as contractors who are at a ‘less-experienced” level than that at which your business and you, as an entrepreneur, are currently.

For Whom is this Program, ideally?

This program is IDEAL for:

• Business Owners … to help you, too, strengthen, Improve and/or GROW your business in the next few months … IF that’s something you’d like to do;
• Business Unit Managers in “big-corporates;”
• your Key Employee(s) … if you’d like to help them up-level in their positions, helping them to relieve you of some of your daily chores; and/or
• Employees considering purchasing your Business … allowing you to ride happily off into the sunset!
