SUMMARY:Automate & Scale Your Business - Montgomery County
DESCRIPTION:[su_button url=”https://mdwbc.ecenterdirect.com/events/787514″ background=”#ef2d3b” size=”12″ center=”yes”]CLICK HERE TO REGISTER![/su_button] \n  \nAre Routine Tasks Taking Over? Automate for Freedom\, Flexibility\, & Focus\nDid you know that growing a business and scaling a business are two completely different things? When you grow\, there is just more and more and more to do. When you scale\, you are able to take on more work with little or no increase in time and costs. \nScaling is about doing more with less effort\, in less time\, and with fewer people. It is maximizing the technologies to automate routine activities to support your business. Sounds awesome\, right? The system I will share will help business owners generate more freedom\, flexibility and focus by automating and delegating. \n\nIdentify automation opportunities\, so you can stop wasting time and energy on tasks that you should get off your plate.\nThe five essential elements to automate and scale your business so you can reduce your workload without incurring major hiring costs.\nTwo simple but brilliant moves that will create lasting impact beyond our time together today.\n\n*Intended Audience: Startup\, Growth \n  \nAbout Our Presenter: Mary Sue Dahill is Founder of MSD Advisors. The promise of freedom and flexibility is why Mary Sue Dahill jumped at the chance to be a business owner. But she quickly learned that wearing so many hats and keeping all the balls in the air constantly challenges that promise. Mary Sue leaned on her technology strategy background and implemented low-cost technology to manage information\, build relationships\, and  automate routine activities.  \nMary Sue found that lots of business owners were struggling with the same time crunch challenges\, but they didn’t have the technology know-how to solve the issue. She geeks out on the technology that makes your life easier. Mary Sue love’s unpacking all the details of a chaotic\, complex\, exhausting systems the business has outgrown and transforming it into a profitable\, well-oiled machine.  \nMary Sue has an MS in Management of Information Technology from UVA and a Certificate of Project Management from Stanford University\, and has a Green Belt in Six Sigma. \n  \nNote Our Policies: Refunds or comps are available for classes cancelled by MWBC.
