Do you want to move from rags to relative

riches in coming months and years?

 

Do you want to change your life from one of misery and frustration to one of affluence and satisfying achievement?

 

Brian Tracy says, "Success is GOALS, and all else is commentary".

 

So, you need to know how to set your goals

and make plans to achieve them!

 

How do you do that then?

 

Now, Confucius says:

A journey of a thousand leagues begins with a single step.

But how important is the direction of that first step?  Hmmm.  I'd say, very important.

Remember this part of the story from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland  by Lewis Carroll?

'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'

 

'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.

 

'I don't much care where—' said Alice.

Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

 

'—so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation.

 

'Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, 'if you only walk long enough.'

 

The surest way to get nowhere fast in your life

or business is to be without goals or plans!

 

Are you a bit like Alice?

Dear Colleague,

 

They say that what you think about most of the time you become.

 

Your outer world becomes a reflection of your inner self and mirrors back to you what you think about.

 

Ask successful people what they think about and most common answer you will get is that they think about what they want, and how to get it most of the time.

 

In contrast, unhappy and unsuccessful people think and talk about what they don't want most of the time. They focus on concerns, problems and who's to blame.

 

An therein lies the difference!

 

 

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

Napoleon Hill

 

Now, if you're serious and ambitious and want to get ahead in life and business faster then you are now then the GoalGetter programme for you.

 

It could literally change your life by being a roadmap and a guide to help you get from wherever you are to wherever you want to go!

And the results are guaranteed! (Yes, I just said "guaranteed." More on that later and don't forget to read about the fantastic bonuses on offer worth at least £400 including classic business books, great software to market and grow your business and an opportunity to make the most of your leadership style and strengths through assessment and coaching.)

What is GoalGetter?

As a business owner you focus your time on running your business. You fight fires and you deal with the usual day-to-day challenges and frustrations that your business throws up.

 

This day-to-day, week-to-week business management role can be fun and exciting. But it can also become tedious and overpowering.

 

And sometimes you probably can’t see the wood for the trees, and end up wondering if there’s a better way.

 

The good news is that GoalGetter gives you an opportunity to reveal that better way for you and your business.

 

GoalGetter is a software-driven diagnostic business planning process that has been designed to help you discover (or re-discover) fresh possibilities, new opportunities and a bright future for you and your business.

 

Will it work for you?

Categorically YES. And we are so confident that it will add real value to your business that it comes with a 100% full and unconditional money-back guarantee.

 

In other words, if you feel that a GoalGetter session does not help you develop your business, you only pay what you think that session was worth. And we even insist that you ask for a full refund if you see no value in the process at all. Best of all, you won’t get any hassle or any questions asked if you trigger the guarantee. Simply our thanks for giving GoalGetter a try.

 

How does GoalGetter work for you?

GoalGetter delivers a clear focus on what must happen to drive your business forward.

 

GoalGetter helps you identify the most important issues facing your business today. And, crucially, it also generates a detailed action plan for you. A detailed prioritised action plan that, when implemented, will deliver the results you want for your business.

 

GoalGetter deals with the most important aspects of your business so that you can be sure you cover everything that matters. Everything that can make a real difference to your future as a business owner. Everything that is important to you.

 

 

“I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That’s where the fun is”

Donald Trump

 

What can you expect?

It depends!

 

It depends on how much you want a better business. How important is it that you change your business for the better?

 

Ultimately, this will determine the amount of time (and money) you invest in GoalGetter.

 

You can opt for a short GoalGetter session that will simply deal with the most pressing issues facing your business today.

 

Alternatively you can opt for a full business planning day or start a series of GoalGetter sessions that reveal every important issue across seven key areas. Seven areas that reveal everything that matters to you and your business:

Personal goals - what’s important to you on a personal level

Business goals - what you want to achieve with your business

Understand better where your business is now and what the future holds

Marketing - work on your marketing and sales strategies, pricing, promotion, products and service offering

People - work on your strategies for building a great team of people and getting the very best from them

Finance — how you plan to pay for it?
Action planning and review - what do you have to do to make the things that matter to you actually happen?

You can use GoalGetter to address as many or as few of these areas as you want. And after every GoalGetter session you will achieve greater clarity. Greater clarity on what really matters. And greater clarity on what you must do to make a real difference.

 

How will it work?

You’ll invest some quality uninterrupted time with a qualified GoalGetter facilitator.

 

You’ll work through a process that helps bring real clarity to what matters most to you and your business.

 

You’ll build a prioritised action plan that can then drive your actions so that you make a real difference to what matters most to you.

 

It sounds simple because it is. There is no rocket science. But there is a real sense of clarity, a real sense of achievement and a rekindling of the passion for what you do.

 

In a nutshell, GoalGetter will have you thinking in a different way about your business. And GoalGetter presents you with clear priorities on what must be done to get what you want from your business.

 

 

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"

Eleanor Roosevelt

 

Who are the GoalGetter Facilitators?

Facilitation is necessary for you to focus on the important (i.e., the learning discovery, development and personal growth) as well as the urgent (i.e., resolving the problem). The facilitator helps you reflect on both what you are learning and how you are solving problems.

 

Through a series of questions, the facilitator enables you to reflect on how you listen, how you may have reframed the problem, how you give feedback, how you are planning and working, and what assumptions may be shaping your beliefs and actions.

The facilitator also helps you focus on what you are achieving, what you are finding difficult, what processes you are employing, and the implications of these processes.

The facilitators for GoalGetter programmes will be Mark P. Russell and Rick Peet.  Both have participated in and facilitated a number of GoalGetter programmes and have wide-ranging experience of working in many different types of businesses and industry sectors. They were also involved in the pilot project completed at the end of 2005 focusing on leadership development of SME owner managers using Action Learning and sponsored by Skills for Business.

 

Mark Russell has participated in and coached Action Learning Sets and has a wide-ranging experience of working in many different types of businesses and industry sectors.

SPECIAL BONUS ONE

When you sign up to GoalGetter, you will also receive Michael Gerber's best selling book and audio CD The E-Myth Revisited. It's required reading for anyone thinking about starting a business or for those who have already taken that fateful step. The title refers to the author's belief that entrepreneurs - typically brimming with good but distracting ideas - make poor businesspeople. He establishes an incredibly organised plan, so that daily details are scripted, freeing the entrepreneur's mind to build the long-term success or failure of the business. You don't need an MBA to understand or follow its directives; Gerber takes time to explain buzzwords and complex theories. Written in a clear and well-paced manner, The E-Myth Revisited is like receiving advice from an old friend.
