What's in this Workout?
For Olympic Athletes, World Cup Winners and Formula One Champions the secret to success lies in having a nimble game plan and getting off the starting line as quickly as possible. The same agility is required in business.
One of the most difficult hurdles to get over as you start the year is the summer-time blues. You come back after that long summer break at the beach and ease yourself into work... and then there’s the horrible realisation at the end of February that you actually need to get some work done. The result of which is that you spend the rest of the year swearing to yourself that you will get your focus right and start with a bang next year!
So how do you make sure you are ahead of the pack and focusing on the "important stuff" right from the get-go? In this interactive and highly practical Workout, Merv Neal will show you how to get focused quickly in 2009 without spending hours on long business plans or bogged down in wordy documents. Using Merv's simple but comprehensive One Page Business Plan model you will learn how to plan your business, work, or life for the next year on a single piece of paper.
This Workout is a must for all businesses and individuals who are serious about starting the year on top of their game and gaining serious, sustainable advantage over their competition.
