give a man a fish and he'll eat for the day - teach the man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime...

Ever been told that knowledge is power?

WRONG!

Applied knowledge is power...

That's why the training courses are different from some in that I am a business owner, not a theorist. When I deliver a seminar or presentation, I am able to inject the content with personal experience to help communicate the message more effectively.

I work with Business Link & Nottinghamshire Business Venture delivering courses for new business startups and these courses also act as 'refreshers' for people who are in business but might just need a little push to take it to the next level.

I also find that I'm learning from the people I meet and the things they say and do... #musings link#

postheadericon status

The discussion was about 'What do you want from your business' and my belief is that you need to know exactly what you want from being in your own business so that it will motivate you when the chips may be down.

One of the responses was "Status" which was defined as "your standing within the community and your peers..."

So, is Status a good reason to get into business? And what is status anyway?

postheadericon what's in a word (or two?)

some don't believe in the marketing power of the written and spoken word...

Tell that to a reader of Mein Kampf or the Holy Bible

So on a lighter note, here are some of my favourite quotes and wherever possible, I've listed where I read, saw or heard them... 

"in every adversity, there lies a seed of equal or greater benefit"

- Dr. Schuller

"if you think you can or you think you can't - you're probably right"

- Henry Ford? - the point being that we are in control of pretty much every action we take. It all starts inside!

postheadericon Reading List

you will be the same person you are right now, except for the people with whom you associate and the books you read...

I can't remember who told me that but I know he was American! The point is, we cannot get new knowledge from ourselves - we have to go out and find it. And with that, here is a list of some of the books that have helped shaped my life and in many ways, enriched it:

  • How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie
  • Raving Fans - Ken Blanchard
  • Who Moved My Cheese? Spencer Johnson MD
  • The Art of Dealing with People - Les Giblin
  • Failing Forward - John Maxwell
  • Developing the Leader within You - John Maxwell
  • 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership - John Maxwell
  • 21 Indespensable Qualities of a Leader - John Maxwell

I'm currently working on this section and am developing a facility to make it more interactive. To keep up to date, please join my mailing list...

You're looking in the wrong place for the answer...
