by Dan Strongin
With your business growing, and you working in it, there is precious little time to work ON it to make things better. When you do find time, trying to see what matters in columns and rows packed with too much data but too little meaning bites!
Learn everything you need to know when, whether and where to act, and predict what will happen in the near future with confidence, so you can anticipate problems before they happen, find their causes, and smash them.
Starting with an overview of what will be learned, the course includes:
You will need a pencil, an eraser, some graph paper preferably, a straight edge, a calculator, a computer and spreadsheet software would be nice, but most of all, your uncomputer... your mind.
The course is made up of 44 classes, with over 6 hours of video, plus pdf's for study, supplementary materials, and an hour or two of independent practice to move you from first exposure to mastering the art of making wonderfully useful reports and how to apply them for breakthrough, almost magical results.
