Volume 8, Issue 8: Leadership Tips From Australian Leaders

Investing time on things that matter is simple. It takes just 1 hour per day, for 1 year and you will see results.

Mark Bilton CEO of Gloria Jeans said, ‘Work/life balance, or more like work/life blend these days is really important.

When all those things are in place and I can operate off that platform, I’m at my best. But if there are holes in those elements, I’m not as functional. ‘ Quote from our new book to be published 2014, Insights from Successful Australian Leaders.

Volume 8, Issue 7: Building a Championship Team

Imagine a soccer coach assigning positions for each of the players. He pins up the positions on a team sheet. His team warms up before the game, and each of the players take the field in the position that the coach assigned them. The team loses its first game, 2-0. At the next game, the coach does the same thing, putting the same players in the same positions. Again the team loses, this time 3-0. This goes on for 12 games and the team languishes at the bottom of the competition.

Volume 8, Issue 7: How colour selection can improve your marketing results

Choosing colours for your logo, website and advertising campaigns may seem simple enough. For experienced designers, colour selection may even seem like second nature.

Volume 8, Issue 6: You Must Learn To Delegate

Picture this:
Snoopy is lying on top of his famous doghouse, complaining that there’s too much to do. In the final frame of the cartoon, he sighs, “I hate being head beagle!” Snoopy’s view of leadership aside, if you like the privileges of being ‘head beagle,’ but not the responsibilities, you probably haven’t learned the art of delegation.

Volume 8, Issue 6: Avoiding Marketing Mistakes

If you want to avoid making marketing mistakes, you have to understand who your “A” class customers are. We all learn from experience and I learned this lesson hard. I blundered badly when I had the wrong focus with my first small business client. My big mistake was that I assumed that every single business problem could be solved by sales and marketing. So I went to my first business owner/client and convinced him to just ramp up the sales and marketing. We did that and very successfully but… I nearly killed his business.
