10 Techniques to Increase Your Productivity

Program Description

In business, you need to be more than just organized to be profitable, you also need to be productive. Your business needs systems in place that you and others use on a daily basis to make every minute count and not miss out on opportunities to increase your earning potential.

Would you like to be more productive and organized at work?

“This was my first introduction to one of Laura's workshops. Wow, what a wealth of information - Including tools that are in front of us, but nobody talks about. I particularly enjoyed learning about e-mail templates and scheduling e-mail. I bought Laura's book, "Eliminate the Chaos at Work" and read half the book in my first sitting. It was packed full of useful information. I can't wait to put into practice all her useful tips! Thank you Laura for taking the time out of your busy schedule to speak with Women Business Owners.”
