In the past 10 weeks I have been traveling for almost seven weeks for both business and pleasure. It was truly an amazing time and I would like to share some of my experiences with you in my next upcoming posts.
Back in October, I traveled to San Diego to attend and speak at Alan Weiss’s Million Dollar Consulting College Grad School. A terrific group of 15 consultants attended the grad school for two and a half days to discuss business challenges, best practices, case studies and participated in various role plays and examined growth ideas.
Here are several take-aways:
- Look at the world from our clients’ perspective.
- What can we learn from other companies success that we can apply to our success or that of our clients.
- Rather than looking at doom and gloom look at opportunities.
- If you don’t reinvent your business you die.
- Promote yourself so you are mentioned in the media in print, TV, Internet and radio.
- Mention your clients’ success often in conversations.
- Buying high-end goods is an emotionally fulfilling act. People need that emotional fulfillment.
- Growth comes from top line growth not from cutting expenses.
- Business model is the structure of how you run your business and how you market and deliver your products and services.
Below are two testimonials from my speech which I recorder with my HD Flip Video camera. First one is from Lisa Nirell, founder of Energize Growth:
And the other from Sara LaForest, co-founder of Kubica LaForest Consulting:
And finally, the fabulous setting outside my window. And remember not to get caught in the web.
