Business DNA In-Depth How-To Guides (or Strands)

These detailed reports incorporate the lessons it has taken me over 25 years to learn about what works and what doesn’t. It really does make sense to learn from other people’s successes and mistakes, as well as your own – I certainly have, and now you can too.

The Strands all include a bit of theory (for explanation) and lots of practical tools (for application).

Current Business Strands include Time Management, Entrepreneurship, Business Planning, People and Communications.

Time Management

Do you find that the harder (or more) you work, the more money you make, but that also the more money you make, the less time you have to enjoy it? This is the world that we live in today. The only way out of this loop is to stop being busy and start being productive.

There is a lot that can be done in regard to how you handle the challenges of your time challenged life. In this strand of Business DNA I’ll show you how you can:

  • Get control of your business, your time and your life
  • Evaluate your current use of time, take control of your schedule and develop a personal time management system that works for you
  • Increase your productivity by prioritising your activities
  • Balance multiple priorities
  • Make maximum use of your peak energy time
  • Improve efficiency in handling routine matters
  • Plan today to meet long-term goals
  • Eliminate stress
  • Execute on all the brilliant ideas you have
  • Have more time for fun

Communications

This Strand of Business DNA covers the key findings about communications I have gleaned over the last 10 years of study, observation and practice in the area. It sets out some new paradigms of understanding and will teach you strategies for more effective communication. Perhaps most importantly, it will help you understand what it means to really communicate with another person. And why is this so important for your Business DNA? Simply, because effective performance is built on a platform of effective communication. It covers:
