Run Your Business So It's NOT Running You!
–Carl L.
Gould, FInstIB, Founder and Chief
DISCoverY Officer,
CMT International, Riverdale, NJ
When asked, “How’s business?” the BOE (Business
Owner-Entrepreneur) will typically sigh, place his or her hands in
their
pockets, take a step back and say, “Busy,” which is code
for
"overwhelmed and frustrated." Overwhelmed because the BOE feels he or
she
needs
to micro-manage and control every aspect of the business; frustrated
because he
or she doesn’t know how to effectively let go and manage the business,
as a
business system, instead of a job. The BOE’s answer to becoming more
productive
is to work harder. Working harder is not the answer, working smarter
is!
Becoming more productive is about leveraging your personal strengths
and
empowering others to utilize theirs. Learn how to use the to more

always
dreamed of being. There is a science to working smarter and this system
will
help you understand the keys to being more productive and less
overwhelmed.

From Good To Great–Adapting
To Succeed
–Larry Bangs,
AInstIB, Principal, Bangs Business
Coaching, Boulder, CO
This is an interactive presentation of the basic
findings from Jim Collins’ books, “Good to Great” and “Built to Last.”
Collins
has done extraordinary research and made some startling discoveries
regarding
what separates “good” companies from “great” ones. The presenter will
move
slowly through Collins’ findings stopping along the way to answer
questions and
stimulate dialogue based on the real time experience of the audience.
Why is
this important for entrepreneurial businesses? Because almost all of
them have
grown up “reactively.” Their basic business operations and management
practices
have been formed out of their reactions to cash flow problems, employee
difficulties, customer demands, etc. The result is that all too many of
them
are mired in bad habits that keep them from fulfilling the vision they
had for
their business at the beginning. It takes tremendous courage and
commitment to
face what Collins calls the “brutal truth” and begin to take the steps
necessary to build a business based on a strong vision, a solid
strategic plan
and well disciplined management practices.
