Cancellations and Rescheduling
You're most likely to want to cancel or reschedule a seminar because you need to prepare for an urgent bid opening; or, because some other crisis has popped up. Although we understand wanting to reclaim 8 hours to work IN your business, the fact that you want to cancel is a red flag that you need to spend more time working ON your business. So we encourage you to think twice before canceling or rescheduling. After all, there will always be another crisis looming around the next corner.
