But you probably wouldn’t be looking at this if you fit that description.
It’s also not for those who want a "quick fix," continue to do it all themselves or don’t want to involve key people in learning, planning and implementing the solutions.
Don’t bother applying if you don’t want to do whatever it takes to make changes and improve your business.
