Building infrastructure – Circle Graphics, Vancouver, B.C.

This innovative web and commercial design company has been a Wardell member since 2000. As with many businesses, Circle’s business owner, Brad Haima, was run off his feet trying to keep up with his business.

He was in the classic transition stage of shifting from being a designer himself, to actually managing Circle graphics as an entity.

Probably the most telling story is the day Brad knew that things were changing in his business. “I reached a point where the stress level dropped,” he stated. “We were making money and meeting objectives, but I didn’t feel as pulled apart and frazzled.”

This exemplifies the Wardell system in action. By helping Brad build a solid foundation on which to build, he was freed up to be more creative and entrepreneurial -- and a better manager.

In fact, once Brad became familiar with our business growth system, he was motivated to start a second company: iGolf Systems (www.igolfsystems.com). This business is rapidly becoming the first choice in golf club management software across the North America.

Here’s what Brad Haima, President of Circle Graphics and iGolf, had to say about his experience with the Wardell program:

“I really can't say enough about how the Wardell program has changed my business. Before I started working with Wardell, Circle Graphics focused on being the best in our field of creative design and software development, not necessarily on the inner workings of business and finance.

“I always felt that good business was based on good work. I now have a much broader understanding of what good business is. My personal objectives, the internal systems of my office and staff, our marketing strategies, our financial reports are all now an integral part of running Circle Graphics. We have not only streamlined our operation, but we have become more profitable in the process. I can now allow my business to grow knowing full well I have a great partner at Wardell that can help me to adjust to any adversities we may face. This is not just a quick fix approach to business coaching. It is an extensive program that ebbs and flows with the needs of your business operation.

”I am constantly surprised at how much I have learned about my business since starting the Wardell program and see it as an essential part of any growing business. I would highly recommend Wardell to anyone looking to grow an organized, efficient business.”

Working with Wardell Professional Development has had significant positive impact on both my business and my personal life. There are two levels at which I have seen improvement. The first is on a financial/business level...
