This document promotes the BizSmart program, which connects business owners with other experienced business owners. It argues that running a business can be lonely and overwhelming, but having a group of other owners to consult with and learn from can help overcome challenges. The BizSmart program provides business owners a support network to use as a sounding board for ideas, identify priorities, and challenge assumptions to help keep their business momentum going. Rather than consultants, it offers real-world experience from other owners facing similar issues.

1. BizSmart
Surround yourself with Smart
People for business success

2. Ah! The rewards of running your own business ...
Imagine: YOU get to Control Your Own Destiny. How great is
that!

3. It is YOU that determine your own Work/Life Balance...

4. You even get to choose the people YOU want to work with ...

5. And yes, you are the one to take the risk……but for once it’s
also YOU that get to reap the rewards.

6. Don’t you just simply ooze pride in building something
awesome of your own?

7. Ok, so you're a bit stuck, stressed and trying to keep it
together at the moment.

8. But hey… let's not get into the self-pitying victimization of “I’m
not OK, how the hell did you get to be OK?”

9. …You're going to be one of those 4 out of 100 companies that
actually get it right and take wing …Right?

10. Here's the thing ... it's not always that easy and by now you’ve
realised that standing high on a mountain of soothsayer
hullabaloo: five quick tips here, four never-before-revealed
secrets there ... and that awesome three simple steps …just
isn't flying.

11. What you ideally need are a group of highly experienced
people in the office next door you can call on…and ask: "so
guys, what do you suggest I do about this problem then?"

12. Well, that sounds a bit like a room full of business consultants
and an avalanche of different options.

13. No, you don’t want that! What you need is something a lot
more hands-on.

14. Now, imagine working on your business issues with other
business owners that’s out there, in the real world, running
successful businesses of their own.

15. What if you can use them as a sounding board for your ideas?

16. What if they are willing to help you identify and work on the
priority areas of your business?

17.
What if they can challenge your assumptions and help you
keep your momentum going?

18. Not consultants …

19. But other business people with real world experience.

20.
No more feeling overwhelmed and suffering from business
blindness .

21.
No more feeling isolated and alone at the top.

22. No more feeling like you’re stuck and unable to more forward.

23.
No more continually hunting for articles and courses in the
hope of finding the illusive something that will work for you.

24.
Just you, supported by smart people.

25.
Remember, it's easy to invent a flying machine,

26.
quite something to build one,

27.
but to fly .. to fly is everything.

28. Good Luck!
