Small business or doing millions, if it can't run without you, it owns you. Bernard has spent 23 years building businesses that set their owners free. Now he does it with you.
Anyone can read you a book on business. Bernard ran the real thing. He grew a company from nothing to 200 tons a day with 75 staff, turned it into a NZ Best Workplace, and got invited twice onto the global Lean tours that businesses fly across the world to study.
Whatever you sell, and whatever size you are, the fundamentals are the same. He has already run them. Under real pressure. With a real payroll to meet every week.
