Al Levi could have packed it in, gone to Arizona, and led the good life. After all, he sold his contracting company back when the economy was still vibrant.

But Al still possessed the same entrepreneurial drive that made him a highly successful business owner. How could he slip into retirement when he knew he had solutions for many of the problems that plagued small businesses?

So Al became a business coach and launched Appleseed Business, Inc. Now he helps owners of contracting and service firms go from grasping at straws to growing strategically.

If you own or manage a business, or would like to, you’ll want to tune into this free Webinar produced by BNP Media’s Webinar Group. It’s called “Leadership Power: Are you an Owner or a Hostage?” and takes place on Tuesday April 12 at 1 p.m. E.T. You can register here.

Al has been writing for BNP Media’s trade magazines for several years. He’s shared tons of smart, field-tested expertise on marketing, management, and sales. He knows how to make your phone ring, how to keep your customers buying, and how to help your employees become your biggest assets. During this Webinar Al will help you build a foundation for success.
