Want to Run a Profitable, Growing Company? Don't Miss this Free Webinar

Al Levi could have packed it in, gone to Arizona, and led the good life. After all, he sold his contracting company back when the economy was still vibrant.

Al Levi could have packed it in, gone to Arizona, and led the good life. After all, he sold his contracting company back when the economy was still vibrant.

But Al still possessed the same entrepreneurial drive that made him a highly successful business owner. How could he slip into retirement when he knew he had solutions for many of the problems that plagued small businesses?

So Al became a business coach and launched Appleseed Business, Inc. Now he helps owners of contracting and service firms go from grasping at straws to growing strategically.

If you own or manage a business, or would like to, you’ll want to tune into this free Webinar produced by BNP Media’s Webinar Group. It’s called “Leadership Power: Are you an Owner or a Hostage?” and takes place on Tuesday April 12 at 1 p.m. E.T. You can register here.

Al has been writing for BNP Media’s trade magazines for several years. He’s shared tons of smart, field-tested expertise on marketing, management, and sales. He knows how to make your phone ring, how to keep your customers buying, and how to help your employees become your biggest assets. During this Webinar Al will help you build a foundation for success.

Here’s some information I stole from the Webinar promotion flyer:

Are you an owner or a hostage? Discover the leadership skills you need to run your business. Join business coach Al Levi for this one-hour Webinar, and you’ll learn what it takes to become a leader in your company.

You’ll learn how to:

*Own and operate a successful company with less stress

*Plan for growth and establish benchmarks for your business

*Discover the types of employee training programs you need to grow

*Improve your business by prioritizing projects and managing your time

*Know when to be a leader and when to be a manager

*Delegate projects the right way, so you become free to lead

*Rediscover what you really want from your business and your life

Al is a let’s-get-after-it guy. I encourage you to spend one hour learning from him so you can grow your business – especially during these challenging times. Don’t take my word for it – check out this feedback from pros like you.

Register today and put April 12 at 1 p.m. E.T. on your calendar. You’ll be glad you did.

Be encouraged! Watch our recently-posted slide show featuring design, construction, service, maintenance and mechanical system pros who are succeeding in spite of the tough market conditions. Visit www.bnpmedia.com/movingon.
