Are you an entrepreneur and need help getting yourself and company out of the weeds? Today our guest shares the tools and systems that she uses. A woman on the go, Christeen Era is constantly improving her business. Her reach extends far beyond her business due to her dedication in helping other entrepreneurs improve their businesses as well. 

Christeen Era, the owner of Core Accounting Services, realized in 2005 that she had a unique skill set and decided to establish her own company – Core Accounting. She has worked in bookkeeping, accounting and administrative consulting for more than 20 years. Now she uses her expertise not only for accounting but to transition companies to the cloud and realize the benefits of strategic streamlining.

In this episode, we get into some juicy deep topics including a discussion about how we as entrepreneurs play small and the implications on our own lives and for those we might be serving if we weren’t playing small. We talk about how Christeen has engaged her team to hold her accountable and the process she and her team use when they get into the weeds. Listen in and discover how to get out of your own way to improve your business.
