Transform Yourself and Transform Your Business

Mark Napper understands that business owners and their businesses are heavily intertwined. Owners often become enslaved to their business instead of having their business serve them. Mark strives to change this by focusing on positively transforming and impacting his clients’ lives when transforming their businesses. Mark does this through acting as a fresh pair of eyes to his clients who provides stimulus and guidance when old strategies no longer work or when experiencing unfamiliar circumstances. He also delves deep into what business owners aim to extract from their business and works with them towards achieving this goal; he tailors his clients’ business vision to fit this personal vision. In turn, this helps move businesses from a stagnant phase to a continuous growth phase.

In this episode, Mark also shares the key ingredients for a sustainable business recipe. His number one tip for business owners is to look into the future – answer questions such as what you want to accomplish, where you want to be and look at what’s coming.
