In the past 90 days my team or I have attended a whole range of seminars and brought into our business a range of experts to advise us.
With the world changing so fast you have to keep abreast of the latest and greatest techniques and developments for building a successful business. In no particular order, in the past 90 days, we been in the presence of:
Tony Robbins – personal development
Verne Harnish – growth
Jack Daly – sales
Joanna Martin – presentations
Robert Kiyosaki – money matters
Donald Trump – entrepreneurship
Sir Richard Branson – entrepreneurship
Timothy Ferris – personal development
Taki Moore – marketing
Paul Dunn – service
Alan Weiss – consulting
Harv Ecker – personal development
Patsy Rowe – business etiquette
+ another 25 or so speakers from 3 multi day events we attended.
Often people think that they need to ‘bring in the coaches or consultants’ when you are under-performing. We are leading the world in what we do and we continually re-invest in coaching and training.
I find that no matter how successful you are you will always learn from someone – provided you are open to learning.
Great investment for your business, too! Jerry
Rob, I totally agree, find the best and forget the rest. My head would be swimming if I tried to absorb all this. How do you manage when everyone touts their business ideas as the latest and greatest? Who do you decide to follow when there is so much information out there? For example I noticed no Jim Collins on your list of “go-to” people.
Matthew, I filter very quickly. I have been ‘into’ personal or business development material for 25 years. Not a lot of new out there – but a lot of fine tuning. I think too many people are looking for the silver bullet and the quick fix. It does not exist. I like Jim’s work – bit heavy though.
