Small Business Owners and CEOs . . . is your business stuck?
Despite everything you try, is the business under-performing or failing to grow as it should?
Hi, I’m Andy Rockwood, owner of Rock Solid Business Development. Since 1997, I have been helping small business owners and operators restore the joy of running a business. In today’s economy, it’s easy for small business people to get stressed out. Competition is fierce. Your customers are demanding that you provide more service and more attention for a lower price. And you’re probably trying to do that with fewer employees. Under circumstances like these, it’s more important than ever for small business leaders to get above the fray of daily problems to take a longer term look at where the business needs to go and how it needs to get there.
