Here is what some of the owners that attended the courses are saying: “The training has given me the tools to create a more efficient business. For years my business has consumed my life – I worked every position, 7 days a week 24 hours a day and rarely had time off. TuneUp has shown me how to implement systems and put together a team. I have now taken the role of the CEO and our company practically runs itself.” Marty Marstrom, Meridian Care Home
“In the retail business, it is too easy to ride the rollercoaster of hope & despair, feeling like you go where the car goes, there is no control. ScaleUp is reminder that the business owner has the wheel. It provided that opportunity to review every aspect of the business and using the business plan as a template,particularly if one looks forward to more external financing, is good path. I would recommend other small businesses take the ScaleUp training as an opportunity to review their successes and, more Importantly, to plan for the future. Ken Adney, Olympia Furniture Works
“I enrolled in the TuneUp class not realizing what a valuable experience it would be. The simple tools and exercises really inspired me to build a foundation that can support my business as it grows. Thank you to all who make this amazing program available!” Cynthia Salazar, Capitol Florist
