He will be presenting a seminar on Getting a Grip on Your Business, providing practical tools and sharing valuable experiences and techniques designed to help business owners get back in the driver's seat and take control of the business. We will examine the common issues and complaints that many business owners share, including:

How to wrestle with 136+ different issues at the same time
Overcoming the frustration of trying to solve the same issues over and over again
Feeling generally "stuck", frustrated and unable to grow the business

In addition to speaking about his own experiences as a small business owner, Jonathan will also be introducing a few tools from the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS ) Toolbox. EOS is a powerful system that takes a holistic self-sustaining approach to building a great company by helping business owners get the most out of the business.

He is not only a Professionally Trained EOS Implementer , but was also one of the first clients to use the system and has successfully implemented it in his own businesses for the last 10 years.

Jonathan is rocket fuel for business refinement. He helped us set a daily communication rhythm that is based on a clear set of quarterly goals where each person owns a piece of the outcome, so the whole team is aligned and keeps energized.
