We're making a BOLD but true statement today to grab your attention but also offer you an opportunity to improve your business in specific ways that create sustainable success and profitability. The Golding Group can help you do just that. All you have to do is just ask, via this link: https://calendly.com/grow-with-us/fix-my-business There are two ways to create sustainable profitability in any business: Effectiveness and Efficiency. Both should be pursued simultaneously and continually with focus and consistency. How do you apply these techniques to your business? We're giving you an overview of this podcast today. Effectiveness: Get more with the same (or less cost) by doing what you do, just better. Using your budget as well as possible to get the outcomes you're looking for. Efficiency: Doing more with less effort or cost. Reducing waste, increasing speed, reducing sales or production cycles and creating opportunities for new or repeat business (most profitable). This episode will explain more about what these terms mean and how to apply them, but I can't tell you everything on the podcast. That's what professional consultations are for, so I can tailor that information to each business scenario. We will work through specifics when we meet to discuss your business. Click the special link above to schedule your FREE half-hour conversation. Let's work together to make your business a success. It’s essential to assess each business’s unique operations and identify specific pain points or areas of improvement to tailor the strategies accordingly. Regular monitoring, measurement and continuous improvement efforts are essential to ensure sustained effectiveness and efficiency gains.

Biotech, nanotech and medical device development are rapidly advancing in Oklahoma. Chelsea Luxen, CEO of ParaNano Wound Care, is one of the innovators in these industries in the Sooner State. Her startup is a pre-clinical company founded in 2018 directed towards the development and commercialization of an advanced wound care product line called the Nanosheet™, a flexible nanofiber membrane that visually changes color when infection is detected all with no wires, batteries or cumbersome device. The progressive color change is easy to interpret (if it has turned green your wound is infected). Luxen is best known for her strong business sense and proven skills in business development and growth, administration and project management. She has co-founded three companies, each with license agreements to technology from institutions including the University of Central Oklahoma and the University of Manitoba.

"Every decision that I make as a business owner, I want it to be through the lens of people first.
