Thurston Economic Development Council Center for Business & Innovation is offering a transformative class for business owners for gaining greater control of their business success. Business TuneUp is a training program designed for owners who want to work smarter, not harder. It helps build critical skills and introduces a set of tools for improving the way they organize, operate and manage their business, creating a solid platform for growth.
The Business TuneUp course is designed to help business owners:
- Think more strategically
- Develop systems to operate with greater efficiency
- Identify key metrics for better decision-making
- Improve profitability
- Enhance relationships with employees
- Work fewer hours & enjoy more personal time
- Take vacations without having to worry about their business
Over 50 established businesses have participated in TuneUp since its debut last fall. Surveys show that 100 percent of participants found the training to be of great value to their business and would recommend it to colleagues.
TuneUp graduate Marty Marstrom, owner of Meridian Care Home, stated “The TuneUp training has given me the tools to create a more efficient business. For years my business has consumed my life – I worked every position, 7 days a week 24 hours a day and rarely had time off. TuneUp has shown me how to implement systems and put together a team. I have now taken the role of the CEO and our company practically runs itself.”
