Andy was born and raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and after studying and working across Canada for several years, returned to Fredericton in 2008 with his wife, Shelley (also a business owner), to raise their four children. Yes, that’s right…FOUR children! Who does that these days?

This two-hour online workshop will help you:

  • Create a meeting structure that allocates ample time for resolving issues
  • Apply a system for identifying and resolving the highest priority issues in your business
  • Get to the root of an issue rather than dealing only with its symptoms

The New "Triple Bottom Line" for Successful Small Businesses

Truly successful small businesses are profitable, they make a positive impact in their communities, and they are enjoyable for the owners and, ideally, for all team members of the business. Profit-Impact-Enjoyment is the new triple bottom line for small businesses. But how do you measure success in these areas? How do you set goals in each area, and how do you measure progress? How does each area affect the others?

This workshop will show you the benefits of this new triple bottom line approach, and it will give you practical tips and tools to create goals and implement strategies to increase the level of profit, impact, and enjoyment in your business.
