5 ways to improve your time

August 31st, 2010

Here are five ways to fire yourself so you can tap into more energy and results:

1. Consider what you are doing that isn’t effective. Do you make many mistakes? Does it tire you out? Would you rather go to the dentist for a root canal than complete the task? Get real with yourself and stop doing these tasks. Find someone else to do them faster, better or cheaper than you can. Read the rest of this entry »

Who am I as a business owner?

August 9th, 2010

Most business owners wear several hats. They are not interchangeable, and you can’t wear them all at the same time. You must continually be asking: “Who am I here?”

Three Point Plan to Productive Meetings

August 4th, 2010

I think it would be a frightening statistic to know how much productive life force is squashed in unproductive, rudderless, meandering, ineffective, blathering, brain-numbing meetings.

Getting your employees to follow your business strategy

April 12th, 2010

Many business owners get into their business because of the thoughts of self-sufficiency, more free time and of course, making more money.

Obviously, as the business owner and leader, you have a unique stake in the success or failure of the business because it is tied to you as an individual. You therefore go though the tough times filled with the excitement of what is to be once your vision for the future is realised. Read the rest of this entry »

Establishing a high-performance organisation
