ABOUT

BizTrainingNow was created to assist you, the small business owner,  with the most challenging aspects of running a successful enterprise.  Most business people are great at whatever their business does; whether building, designing, selling or creating, that’s probably what motivated you to start your business in the first place.  The challenge is to make money doing what you love.  And not just make a profit, but create a vehicle for achieving your personal goals.  That’s really what the business should be and why you take the risks you do.  You deserve more than just getting by, working long hours and hoping for a reward in the end.  BizTrainingNow will teach you to understand the essentials of business planning and management necessary to transform your business from running your life to providing the lifestyle and compensation you expect.
