The first edition of the book - 'Building the
FORMIDABLE
Business
' will be published in the third quarter of 2009. This book
contains all the detailed actions and strategies for each of the
ten steps in the formula.
As a business coach I hear one central theme over and over again
during my initial consultations with the operators of small to
medium sized businesses: How can I take control of my business and
make it more successful at a time of chaotic change and relentless
competition?
This book provides you with a range of practical actions
and
strategies to help answer this question.
We live in a time where few business owners feel they are the
masters of their own destiny. Some owners fail to clearly
identify their problems. The majority are just surviving
rather than fulfilling their initial dreams of really
thriving. The thesis of this book is that business owners
need to adopt a structured process for leading their business
proactively towards their own clearly defined
destination.
I have spent the best part of a decade working “hands on” with
clients in developing practical solutions that a business owner can
easily implement to address problems or to move their business
forward. The purpose of this book is to bring together all
these actions and strategies into a user friendly structured
formula.
We live in an age where there is an endless supply of information
to assist you with managing and directing your business. The
internet has millions of articles on how to improve every
conceivable aspect of your business. The problem is – who has
the time to sort through all this information and tailor it to
their specific needs.
We are information rich and time poor. The explosion in
business coaching is part of the process of applying this
information as practical knowledge and empowering advice.
This book seeks to ‘cherry pick’ the best practices for the small
to medium sized enterprise.
Business owners don’t want to read a text book, they want a manual
that will show them what to do. We can never control change
or the random acts of others, but we can be proactive in charting
our own course. We can’t allow external forces to define
us.
The flexibility of the
FORMIDABLE
Business
program allows you to tailor its actions and strategies to the
needs of your own business, and hence develop your own ‘Success
Formula’. This book can be your long term companion in
addressing both the immediate concerns in your business, and
charting your long term success.
This is a book for those individuals who are managing a business,
starting a business, or considering the option of buying a
business. This book provides a framework for you to be able
to successfully operate a business and remain in control of your
destiny.
