Motivation is not Transformation | Webinar

Why the initial spark for change burns out or burns you out when operating capacity does not increase at a systems level.

Many entrepreneurs know they need to delegate and scale. They might start out strong, but under pressure they revert to automatic. They take everything back on themselves, get overwhelmed, and end up treading water.

In this webinar, Tessa will show you why (and how) to build the right systems and structures:

• In your business so your expertise can be shared and multiplied across many people
• Personally so you build a new automatic so that under pressure you stop slipping back into overwork and overwhelm

Sustainable scale requires capacity re-engineering, internal as well as external, and this only happens sustainably at a systems level.
