Emily Benson Consulting

Most people enter their professional careers not understanding how to grow a business. At times, this makes them feel lost, or worse, like a fraud pretending to know what they’re doing. It’s hard to be successful without a clear understanding of how business works. Donald Miller’s Business Made Simple book offers a solution for the professional or business owner who wants to take their career to the next level.


In this book-club-style workshop, Emily will facilitate the conversation around Business Made Simple and cover the nine areas where truly successful leaders and their businesses excel:


  1. Character: What kind of person succeeds in business?

  2. Leadership: How do you unite a team around a mission?

  3. Personal Productivity: How can you get more done in less time?

  4. Messaging: Why aren’t customers paying more attention?

  5. Marketing: How do I build a sales funnel?

  6. Business Strategy: How does a business really work?

  7. Execution: How can we get things done?

  8. Sales: How do I close more sales?

  9. Management: What does a good manager do?



Business Made Simple is the must-have guide for anyone who feels lost or overwhelmed by the modern business climate, even if they attended business school. Learn what the most successful business leaders have known for years through the simple but effective secrets shared in these pages.

I was eleven years old, entering the world of entrepreneurship by way of sewing items for my grandmother and her friends. While I had a few things to learn—like profit margins and bookkeeping—I always knew I’d own my own business.
