What’s the value for your delegates to listen to Lynne?
Twice Mike attended Lynne’s teachings delivered at their Association’s annual conferences; first a full-day workshop in Spain and a few years later, a seminar in Rome. In Rome he bought Lynne’s book and read it very soon thereafter.
Six months later Mike informed Lynne that attending her teachings and reading her book got him energized; causing him to re-evaluate himself.
He already had his accountant and his lawyers working towards his boys’ taking over the business.
Within these 6 months they now had more work signed up, throughout the winter, even, than they had had in years. He just got energized, he claimed, telling himself : “Stop moping here, boy!”
Lynne’s teachings, live and in her book, “relit the spark and fanned the flame.” He realized he had been in a bit of a rut and said he sure wasn’t anymore!
They had already sold their home, moved into their future lifestyle and were cottage-ready … by early spring!
He was now feeling Very Excited on a daily basis!

Topics Lynne Covers
Extracted from Lynne’s training on 7 key business strategies which she’s dramatically simplified with “rubber-hits-the-road” tried-&-true tactics, Lynne offers a variety of powerful, content-rich topics, such as:
- How to better manage your time — Proven to give you at least 10 extra hours each month
- How to increase your success in following through on your ideas … all the way to pay-dirt!
- How to tame the cash-flow beast by daring to fire a BMW-customer or two
- How to attract, train, develop and retain an all-star team … providing you with peace-of-mind while on your 1/4ly vacations
- How to overcome your top 3 challenges by turning them back into the Top 3 Resources they really are
You know how many men who own and manage businesses feel frustrated with sacrificing their life as a father and a husband for the business … and settling for less for their family than they imagined from running a company?
Since 2003 Lynne has been helping these men (especially contractors in the construction industry) to get the FUN back into their businesses, which actually causes an increase in PROFITS (often-times a dramatic increase like TRIPLE within a few months; QUINTUPLE within a year-and-a-half; more than VIGUPLE within 5 years) and, with All-Star teams at the helm during their absence, they GET A LIFE outside of the business – and a FUN one at that. Needless to say, they bring some of that FUN back into their businesses with them … which benefits everyone.
With Lynne’s help these fathers, husbands and grandfathers go from feeling frustrated and fed up to overcoming numerous and varied challenges.
Lynne’s GUARANTEE
According to Lynne Time is the ONLY resource that truly is limited. Lynne guarantees to your members that they will receive at least a 300% ROI on their investment of time at your event in listening to her presentation (rather than skipping out to be at the beach with their family or to play a round of golf with their wife) if they simply take immediate action on just one of the numerous the ideas with which they walk out that door following her presentation.
As the President of a vibrant, caring and grass-roots association, I’ve found that far too many of our members are amazing electricians, yet they struggle to get the rewards they deserve because they are not yet amazing business people.
Just as an apprentice needs a journeyperson to guide and train them in the field, a business owner needs training and guidance on how to effectively run a business.
Learning of Lynne Jacob & her training & coaching programs through MLJ International I immediately attended one of her workshops with two of our association’s key contractors. In that workshop we learned that Lynne’s programs deliver a lot of value our members need; and we didn’t hesitate to hire her to speak to many of our members around the province.
Lynne brings them a process, teaches them how to look at their businesses, make changes, let go. In The Trade-Contractors’ Business College they feel like they’re sitting in a safe environment where they can talk deeply about many things they’ve never even articulated before.

I had read Lynne’s material and felt it was relevant to the members of ECAO. Our committee hired Lynne Jacob of MLJ International to present her Trade-Contractors’ Business College at our annual conference.
We were hoping that Lynne would provide our members with practical business advice and the motivation to make changes in their businesses; and we got that in a big way! Lynne met our expectations on a scale of 10/10.
Lynne’s style of delivering in an interesting and lively enough fashion so as to keep people’s attention gets another 100%.
If you’re considering engaging Lynne Jacob, of MLJ International, to present to your members or customers, I have two words for you: Excellent value!

I have been in business for some 35 years and have taken many business courses.
Lynne’s presentation of her course, offered through MLJ International, reiterated many of the things I have learned over the years. I would say that it does focus on the Trade-Contractor in particular, as it identifies many of the problems and issues a contractor faces.
I do believe that for any contractor who is facing the issues MLJ identifies, it would be a great course to help an individual create a more successful business while helping to create a more manageable lifestyle.
