Escape Your Escape Room Business: How to build a company that runs without you (and why you need this)

Session Overview

Is your business running you? Are you dreading even thinking about what would happen if an emergency forced you to step away? Are you checking your phone right now?

Will and Kim Rutherford of Escape Artist Greenville have created a thriving business in Greenville, SC, but it hasn’t always been that way. Years ago, they realized that their limited time and attention were their biggest hurdle to the success of their business. Through creating systems and supporting their staff, they’ve found ways to distance themselves from the day-to-day operations, allowing them to focus on the things that truly matter… and giving themselves the space to focus on life outside of the business. These methods not only give them more space for themselves, but have built a robust company that can weather any storm.

A limited number of discounted hotel rooms are available at the RECON 26 hotel and venue, the Sheraton Laval Hotel.

Our block of rooms on-site at The Sheraton Laval Hotel is SOLD OUT.

Luckily, we have secured a second, smaller block of rooms at Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites. This is a 5-minute drive away from the RECON venue. If you missed out on the original room block, Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites is our choice among the many hotels in the area. They are providing a special RECON rate of $209 CAD per night (plus taxes) that includes breakfast, wifi, and parking.
