Too many business owners are challenged by flatlining revenue and the stress that goes with that. David Shriner-Cahn is on the podcast today to help hard-working solo entrepreneurs attack and solve these types of problems.
David founded his firm, TEND Strategic Partners, in 2006. Through his unique approach to consulting, David creates strategies to solve small business problems and drive growth. By the way, unlike most business consultants he doesn’t just hand off recommendations, he personally implements the necessary changes with his clients.
David is also the host of Smashing The Plateau, a podcast for business owners who are determined to break through their current limitations. No matter how successful you might be today, there’s probably at least one area where external or internal roadblocks are keeping you from fully achieving your goals.
Beyond his many years of experience helping business owners to break through roadblocks, David’s background includes eight years in the corporate world as a chemical engineer, and over 20 years as a CEO, COO, CFO in the non-profit world. His C-level experience and executive maturity makes him a rare find among small business consultants.
