Hear Michael Port, Dr. Ivan Misner, David Meerman Scott and Cali and Jody Discuss How to Build a Bigger, Better Business That Pays You More While You Work Less

Are you working around the clock just to serve your clients and stay afloat?  Feel like your business is running your life?

This is not what you envisioned when you started your business.  Like other business owners, you started your own gig so that you could: focus on the work you love, be your own boss, earn more and work less and design a business that supports the life you want to live!

Instead of living that dream, you’ve created another job for yourself.  You are drowning in the day-to-day stuff, overwhelmed by all the clients you’ve committed to serve, and wondering how to get out of this mess you’ve created that you call a business.  There is a better way…it is your business and your life, after all!

On Thursday, May 22 at 2pm Eastern, tune in to hear Michael Port show you how to transform your business so it serves you – instead of the other way around.  Join the bestselling author of Book Yourself Solid talk about his newest book with a panel of business experts and learn how to:

• Take your business to the next stage of success
• Systematize your business so it doesn’t rely on you being there every day
• Double, triple or even quadruple your sales
• Design your business so that it serves your ultimate lifestyle and allows you to actually work less than you are right now

You will not only hear practical and specific strategies from Michael but also get a chance to learn from top business experts, including:

• Dr. Ivan Misner, NY Times bestselling author and Founder and Chairman of BNI
• David Meerman Scott, author of the New Rules of Marketing and PR
• Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson, authors of Why Work Sucks
