 While building your business can be exciting, it can also be stressful as well. The first session of the Blue Ox Business Academy success series gathered business owners for an insightful discussion on how to improve their performance. Today's presentation, maximizing the value of your business, was the first of several workshops to come that will give business owners ideas and advice that they can apply to their own work. The workshop series will also focus on how to save money, improve customer retention, and how to market to new audiences. I've been hiring more people and it's becoming more than just me operating out of a checking account. I hope to gain a little bit more information on growing the business so it's more financially stable in the future. The next session will be in February. More information will be provided on a time and date on the Blue Ox Business Academy website.
