Unlimited access to a professional business advisor

To ensure your business is headed in the right direction, you gain full access to one-on-one business coaching for 30 days. You can call your advisor for guidance at anytime, for any reason. Plus, the Self-Directed program includes two face-to-face meetings: one to provide training on the program; and the other to clarify goals and identify areas of opportunity for your business. Subsequently, you continue to have unlimited access to your advisor via e-mail.

Connect with other business owners

CEO Connect helps you to establish a strong network, and exchange experience and knowledge with other business owners. It’s a private online “peer advisory board” where Wardell members help each other with common – and sometimes not so common -- small business issues. Wardell advisors provide input as well.

As a Wardell Self-Directed business development client, you also have the opportunity to join a Wardell Mastermind group, which is an in-person educational/peer-to-peer advisory board that’s chaired by a Wardell advisor.

Valuable business development resources

You also receive the entire Wardell “Building a Better Business” workbook series, covering the essential aspects of leadership, management, marketing, finance, operations, and sales and promotion.
