Session Description

Being a small professional services provider has many advantages. It is also subject to a number of traps that can, if left unattended, derail an otherwise successful practice. Chief among these traps is the lure of “dungeon dwelling”, the joy and the ecstacy of working as a free agent, in a home office, with total freedom to decide who, when, and why we will interact with those annoying “people”. Face the facts and learn some simple disciplines that will make “dungeon living” fun and profitable.

Session Objective / Value

In this provocative presentation, Jim Rodgers reveals the secrets that have enabled dozens of successful professionals to live the good life and make massive incomes while controlling their work, their environment, and their relationships. Participants will learn:

• Why we prefer dungeon living
• How getting hooked on the life can impact your ability to make a living.
• Why deciding to abandon the dungeon is a pipe dream.
• How simple disciplines make this life profitable and fun.
