This year, Sk8Expo attendees will be sitting in on a one-of-a-kind learning experience with some of the best and brightest minds in business operations.
Ironwood Venture works with businesses to accelerate their growth. People who run businesses tend to be experts in their field and work tirelessly in their business. As it grows, there is a point that owners reach where they're not quite sure how to grow it like they used to, which means that the business needs to be managed in a different way - but how? Ironwood works to create a structure that gets business owners excited about growth and gives them the tools they need to better manage a larger-scale business.
How is it done? Ironwood works to connect strategy to execution. This doesn't mean sitting around a whiteboard, but rather hands-on communication with business owners and staff to get the root of where the business can grow.
According to an interview with The Department, Jeremy Veatch points out that the reason they started Ironwood Venture is because they believe that when someone's business is going well, they can have better lives at home.
"We just had our annual review with one of our clients. We sat down with them to go over what we've been working on for the past year and to review the results. What we saw was that their revenue was up 75% and their net income was up fourfold, largely because they had learned how to manage the business differently, to focus on the right kind of sales, and to build the team they need."
RSA members are encouraged to join in on this two-day event where they will learn the strategies behind Ironwood and how to put these ideas to work on their own businesses. At the end of the event, attendees will learn their honorary MBA in Roller Skating Business provided by the RSA.
