All the Crap that You Didn’t Know Was Part of the Gig when you Started a Business, With Brook Borup

Have you ever been in a job that you loved and hated at the same time? The feeling that every day you were doing your best to meet the approval of those who wrote your paycheck, but never really feeling that it was secure enough to depend on? That’s the story of Brook Borup, CEO of My Clone Solution and creator of "In the Trenches MBA" on Youtube. While the systems, processes and productivity solutions of corporate America were an amazing foundation, they were often lacking in flexibility and even more lacking in common sense that should have guided the decisions being handed down manager to manager. After 15 years supporting all levels of management from Sales Managers to CEO’s, enough was enough. Enough of the rules that made no sense, beating heads against the wall when change could not be effected; enough of being taken for granted by the people that were essentially controlling life in all aspects, living paycheck to paycheck at their beck and call. Brook’s understanding of both the entrepreneurial spirit, but also the struggles that come along with being a small business owner are what make her so great at helping those that chose the life of an entrepreneur. Brook understands that when you work with small business owners the stakes are higher because every penny they spend on your product or service could be a child’s dance lessons, food on the table, advertising for more business or the family vacation they have not had in five years. Delegation is a skill that is learned from necessity and loved by all who can learn it. Once you get the hang of it, it is then about managing the process, not doing it. What you don’t know can hurt you… Brook is impassioned to effect positive change to the struggling entrepreneur.
