Lean Business

In this episode of Small Business Connections, Ann talks about entrepreneurship, their passion for helping small businesses, and the Lean Framework with Brad Eisenburg of BELeanBusiness.com.

Brad got an early start in entrepreneurship and he had many signs that showed him the way. Brad went from Mechanical Engineering to Engineering Businesses. As a child, Brad wanted to design roller coasters, pursued an engineering degree at the University of Maryland and while at school fell in love with entrepreneurship. Brad's passion for helping businesses developed while working on a school project where he developed a bicycle-sharing company paired with working for an energy efficiency business. Brad saw ways to incorporate a new concept with the bicycles and ways to improve the energy business's efficiency.

Brad helps small businesses adopt "Lean" strategies and technology to become scaleable. He enjoys building systems and showing companies how to be a sustainable business. Brad focuses on helping businesses save time, money and build consistency all the way through their processes.

Brad offers a free Lean Assessment Tool for you to explore and find one thing you can fix or streamline in your business today. The Be Lean Assessment will help you pinpoint the weakest link and give you recommendations to improve and obtain your business goals.
