Stop Doing Unprofitable Work - free workshop

Welcome to the Free Business Over Coffee workshop series.

You can be flat out and still feel like there’s nothing left at the end of the month.

Often it’s not your whole business. It’s a slice of it.Certain customers, job types, or products look fine on paper, then blow out in time, rework, discounts, stock, debtors, or stress.

This workshop helps you sort the work that pays from the work that drains you.So you can do more of what’s worth it - and stop saying yes to the rest.

Stop Doing Unprofitable Work is a hands-on, 1-hour in-person workshop for Auckland business owners. It’s part of our Business Over Coffee workshop series.

You’ll use a practical workbook to segment your work by profitability, identify your “A” and “D” graders, and set a few simple rules to protect margin going forward.

This workshop is complimentary so come along, engage with the content and network with your peers.
