WHAT MAKES VISIBLE PROGRESS SO DIFFERENT?

Do you have a great strategy for your business?   Is your strategy a “Market Beating Strategy?”   Are your competitors envious of your strategy?   Does your entire team get your strategy and make it a priority to complete all the elements of it every single year?

If your business and team are not 100% on board with an effective strategy, then I encourage you to attend our 2-day Market Beating Strategy Workshop.

I’m Tim Scholten, founder of Visible Progress.

For over 20 years I have helped hundreds of businesses, banks and organizations as well as thousands of individuals become market leaders.

During that time, I developed a simple, 7 step process, the Market Beating Business Strategy, that has worked for every kind of business, organization and entrepreneur.

I am sure that if you apply these same 7 steps, you will make visible progress and grow your business.

If you are one of the 82% of business owners that either don’t have an effective strategy or your entire team is not executing 100% of your strategy every year . . . then I guarantee your business is not excelling like it can and should.

That is why I created this workshop.

You can take your business, organization or team through it to see immediate, positive results.

In this workshop, I give you the 7 steps that I have developed and mastered through over 20 years of helping marginal or failing businesses create a market beating strategy, and then execute that strategy flawlessly, taking their businesses to new levels of momentum, accomplishment, team unity, and success!

Not only have these 7 steps helped average business reach extraordinary success, these same 7 steps have helped failing banks, businesses, and organizations turn their business around to become one of the best in their market.

These 7 steps have worked with any size business, in any market and at any stage of business.

They work regardless of whether you are a solo entrepreneur, or the president of a company with thousands of employees.

What’s my investment

If you don’t create a winning strategy and get your team on board, how will you take your business to the next level?

If you don’t create a market beating strategy and work your strategy, you know that this year will not be any better.

  • You won’t build the momentum you want
  • You’ll waste more time, energy, money and resources on the wrong initiatives
  • Your business and team won’t experience the excitement and unity they could be experiencing
  • Your business won’t reach the level of success you deserve for your hard work

A lack of a clear strategy that your team is 100% enthusiastic about executing is already costing your business a great deal.

Don’t be like the 82% of other businesses this year that just get by.

Be a market leader and lead your business to the top 5% . . .

This year can be your best year if you build a market beating strategy at our workshop.
