How to Run the Business you Dreamed of with Gary King Every business owner dreams of achieving the freedom to make their own decisions and choices for their business. However, many fall short of this dream due to incorrect business models. With the wrong structure, businesses can quickly lose sight of profitability and lack the financial resources to make necessary decisions. As a result, many small businesses struggle to stay afloat and lose out on the opportunity of true independence. Join this conversation with Gary King and learn how you can reclaim your business back and run it as you have always dreamed, with financial and time freedom. Gary King is the founder of Tendo. After working his way up through the corporate world, performing at the MD level with global organizations, Gary realized he wasn’t creating the lifestyle he wanted. He decided to make a change. He saw that so many SMEs were failing to survive, and he made it his mission to use his skills and expertise to address this head-on. As a result, Tendo was born. Gary has since built three successful businesses and mentored hundreds of small business owners. He is also part of The Association of Business Mentors (ABM), raising the standards of business coaching and mentoring through his role as Regional Head for the North and his position on the exec team.
