"When I started out, I was an eccentric artist with no connections, no business savvy, and like most artists in my industry, I didn't have much affinity for the business side of fashion-just a burning desire to create an effect with my work. Then I was introduced to Hubbard Management Technology and using Hubbard PR and Marketing principles my company grew 500 percent in six years. It is now being a multimillion-dollar company."

Career Education: Business Success Is Not a Matter of Time but of Know-How

By Shannon Lavenia from Los Angeles, California on the Continuing Education Program for her career education at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA. Shannon is the owner of Lavenia Enterprises, LLC.

While on the “Executive Tools” course, I split with a business partner. While this could have been devastating, I was able to make the decision because I had a greater understanding of good business practices; I was empowered.

I immediately started to attract new business and suddenly found myself inundated with more business than I thought I could handle. So, I sat down with my husband (at the “Productivity Workshop” here at Hubbard College of Administration) and worked out my Organizing Board. I also brought two of my staff with me to the Workshop. They were totally blown away with the information and began immediately applying it. Using the newly constructed organizing board, I identified where we were missing staff and hired them.

With the tools gained in the “Executive Tools” course, I began hatting, training on duties and responsibilities of one’s position, my staff and putting the organization lines in. As a consequence, our production went up. Everyone is working together well and is eager to do a great job. All of this occurred over a four-week period, which would be absolutely astounding to most people. But, with the Hubbard Administrative Technology, it doesn’t take a lot of time to implement organization and increase production, it just takes knowing what to do and how to use the tools of management. We are monitoring our statistics, a number or amount compared to an earlier number and amount of the same thing, applying the proper improvement formula for the determined operating condition, and enjoying the increased income that it is bringing.

I recommend this course to any business owner or executive who wants to get production up and keep it up while maintaining a happy, successful staff.
