There are two reasons that the business of “working on your small business” rarely gets done. The first is that you are overwhelmed because you’re responsible for everything. Even if you can delegate, you still must check the work and make sure it’s done correctly. That takes a toll.

The other half of that equation is when you do get into action to improve your business, you are shown dozens of options. This causes you to overthink your decisions. Join us on Tuesday, April 30, 11:30 - 1:00 PM, for "Strategies for Taking Overwhelm Out of Running Your Business," where we will look at ways you can solve these problems in your business with easy-to-implement solutions.

Instructors Hank and Sharyn Yuloff bring a unique perspective to their workshops. Hank has a 35+ year background in advertising and public relations; Sharyn is an online marketing and human resources expert.
