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. The first step in breaking free of this chaos is to carve out time to begin building your plan. That said, be assured that you can reschedule or cancel a seminar as follows if you decide that's what is best for your company:
