Crushing clients’ demanding schedule is one of their targets to free clients from exhaustion but promising that their business profits remain growing. Win The Hour, Win The Day was founded in 2006.

Kris then has led authority in building a business by creating a team. For over 15 years in consulting, now a six-figure business with 8 FTEs.
