Whether its transferring ownership, business succession or small business growth, you need a strategy by wadvisor

Whether you are an entrepreneur, work with other entrepreneur's, run an entrepreneurship center, or any other combination for that matter, you typically don't get many chances to validate some of your small business growth plans. How about testing a strategy on paper before committing hundreds if not thousands of $'s behind the project? What if the project is going to be a waste of your hard worked $'s? Don't you want to know this before you invest this kind of money?

Small business often dream about the opportunity to ask some of these questions without the fear of being sold some sort of product. If you are in a family business, run a small business, or even run several small businesses, thinking of family business succession or business succession planning is not something you wake up with every morning. If you do, then its time to talk seriously. If you don't know where to start, here is your once in a life time opportunity.

On Tuesday the 27th, I have the countries top private business guru offering 3 "1 hour slot's" for you to question some of your investment and growth strategies with someone who has done this many times over(and successfully). If you are Chicago based, and want to ask any question to do with business exit, business growth, expanding your private business, moving towards a niche part of your market or completely exiting your business this could be for you. 5 other lucky business owners, are taking advantage of this opportunity already. If anything you can win a book(or the equivalent audio tape) signed by the author that might change the way you think about your business.

The available time slots are as follows:

2-3pm
5-6pm
6:30-7:30pm

Location? Downtown Chicago
Requirement? You owning an existing private business generating at least $500k in annual sales
Fee? None(usually consultants charge a couple of thousand $'s to give you their time)
The slots are first come first serve.

If you decide to write back, I would like to know:
1) What you would ask and why?
2) Why is it important to you now?
3) When was the last time you thought about this?

Here is the You tube and a copy of the slides for you to take a look at.

Watch out for more updates on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.
