The 6 Profit Levers: Grow Your Business & Income Without Chasing More Sales

Do you ever feel like you’re working hard to grow your business, but your income doesn’t reflect your effort? Instead of working more hours or chasing more sales, what if you could keep more of the money you’re already earning?

In this 90-minute in person workshop with Jordan Tait of The Intentional Business, you will learn how to find $30,000 to $100,000 in profit that is already sitting inside your business, waiting to be unlocked.

You will learn:

The 2 fastest ways to add profit to your business starting today
How to identify your biggest profit growth opportunities without adding to your workload
How to double the value of every hour you work without working more
You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a clear path to more profit.

Who this is for:

Small business owners doing $100K or more who feel like their income does not match their effort and want a smarter path to growth. Participants will leave with a simple profit growth action plan to earn more money this year.

Space is limited to maintain an interactive setting with room for questions, discussion, and applied learning. Reserve your spot today!
