Double Tree Hotel Washington Dulles Airport

 There is a proverb that says "If you don't have a destination in mind, any road will get you there".  Most of us own and manage businesses as a result of the convergence of a number of events rather than a thoughtful, willful and purpose-driven business plan.  Michael Gerber in his book, The E-Myth, calls this convergence of events “an entrepreneurial seizure”.  However, there is a difference between the technical skills of a competent technician and a successful business that performs technical work.

As a result of attending this Business Builder Breakfast, you will improve your 2010 second half performance through:
