Business Model Institute

the business model institute was created to help small-to-mid-sized businesses assess and improve their business models through a structured, proven process. after working with thousands of business owners, author and entrepreneur jim muehlhausen asked himself, “why does the hard-work and talent of some businesspeople fail to equate to business success.” at the same time, he asked, “why do some not-so-talented and not-so-hard-working businesspeople create very successful businesses?” if you believe the traditional business press, you believe that your leadership ability, your marketing ability, or your hard work is what will lead to success. you have been duped. none of the traits, characteristics, or tactics described in the business press matter…….unless…… you have an excellent business model. the brutal truth is great leader + average business model = average business but average leader + great business model = great business you can’t outsmart a bad business model mr. muehlhausen t
