She uses telephone and in-person formats that are informative, motivational and interactive.

Marian is also co-producer of the annual Small Business Summit an all-day event held in New York City which attracts small business owners and sponsors from across the country and Canada.

Marian's popular
"Take Command of Your Business" program:

The Take Command of Your Business presentation is generally conducted over one hour. It introduces participants to the proven steps which are the foundation of Marian's Business Success System. During the program, attendees are walked through the first, and most critical step; identifying areas in their own business that need urgent attention and developing the foundation for a strategic plan.

This is the same system that Marian uses with her individual and group clients. These are simple, easy to understand actions that, once learned, can greatly accelerate your progress, and ultimately change the destiny of your business.

  • Learn the steps of the Business Success System and how they get the job done.

  • Discuss challenges that are common to most small businesses and ways to overcome them.

  • Find out which challenges are facing your business right now.

  • Identify next steps, set priorities and create a plan that will put you in command of your business.

This is a jam-packed hour working "on" your business.
