Are You Responding Quickly Enough To Get the Business?
I don’t know about you, but I get annoyed when I constantly have to phone or email the same person because they don’t respond to my messages, especially if it’s for products or services that I’m interested in. The impression I form of them can include any or all of the following:
… they’re disorganised
… don’t care
… avoiding me
… not trustworthy (can I believe what they say?)
‘How to Get the Best Results From Meetings’
Some time ago I facilitated a VIP Planning Day for a small accounting practice. During the course of the day we reviewed the progress they had made since Planning Day we had the year before.
As we were reflecting on their achievements before planning the future, one of the partners made the comment on how crucial their weekly meetings were. Originally when I first suggested they have regular weekly meetings, the same partner thought it was a waste of time as he was focused on how much time it cost to have everyone stop work for that hour.
How to Have Productive Meetings
Last year I facilitated a VIP Planning Day for a small accounting practice. During the course of the day we reviewed the progress they had made since the Planning Day we had the year before. As we were reflecting on their achievements before planning the coming 12 months, one of the partners made the comment on how crucial their weekly meetings were.
When I first suggested they have regular weekly meetings, the same partner thought it was a waste of time. He was focussed on how much time it cost to have everyone stop work for that hour. Being an accountant he was always focussed on chargeable hours and if they are all in a meeting for an hour they are potentially losing in excess of $1000.

Networking Strategically
Hi,
As a small business owner I’m grateful that I live in Melbourne. There is such a wide variety of events to attend to network with other like-minded business owners and learn valuable tips to implement back into my own business.
The opposite is also true. So much choice! You could be out every day/night of the week if you wanted to.
I recently caught up with Jo and Rick Harrison from Soulmate Success and Ludwina Dautovic from The Red Tent Woman.
Have a great week!
