Collaborate & Grow!

2010 myworkspace Partner Conference
& User Training Day

• Want to grow your revenue a smart way?
• Want to offer additional services to your clients but don't have the skills or time?
• Like to expand your network?

Each year we see an ever increasing amount of client work being collaborated on between myworkspace partners, creating fantastic income opportunities not achievable when working for a client in isolation.  Partners are becoming a one-stop shop for services around the myworkpace.com system ... one of the values possible from an integrated business management system.  This is becoming such a force within the myworkspace network that we have this year themed the Thursday partner-only day 'Collaborate & Grow'.

Register now for the myworkspace.com 2010 partner conference (18th February) and workshop day (19th February)!  We've assembled a great line up of presenters to show you how to get the most out of myworkspace.com and the expanding partner network.  This is not just a day for existing partners ... it is a great introduction for those contemplating becoming a myworkspace partner and a chance to speak with those who already are.

Here's what we'll be looking at:

  Why Most Businesses Stay Small and What You can Do about Yours

  Why are some people more successful in business than others? Why do 98% of micro-businesses stay micro? The biggest risk for owners is not that their business will fail, it's that it will stay small. Their micro-businesses become Micro-Stayers.

  In this seminar, Dr Greg Chapman will present the fundamental principles of building a successful business that will run without the owner and become a saleable asset.

  You will learn: 

  • Why small businesses stay small
  • How to diagnose the issues for your business
  • The Five Pillars that must be mastered for business success
  • Step-by-step how to turn your business into a profit machine
