How To Maximize Your Growth and Revenue with Carlyn Bushman


Listen Later

Whether a business is a major corporation or a small boutique, its fourth-quarter performance plays a huge role in revenue growth for the year. This was especially true for Carlyn when she found herself in a product-based business, where the holiday season was often the busiest. So the tools and processes she planned on bringing into the second half of the year were particularly important. Being the Entreprenista she is, Carlyn ultimately discovered the key: Plan and prepare for the growth you predict.


In today’s episode, Carlyn Bushman provides a preview of what you can expect to learn when you join the Entreprenista League! She shares three of the nine things you can start on today toward optimizing your business processes and how working these into your prep for Q4 can produce success. Carlyn breaks down these three tools, provides questions to consider as you navigate implementing them, shares her own experience with these processes, and so much more! 


“It takes time. It takes patience, it takes planning, which is why we're talking about this today.” - Carlyn Bushman
