How to Create a Successful Enterprise: Strategic Thinking, Business Planning, and Business Development Skills for Potential Entrepreneurs
It's been noted that no one ever pulled a rabbit out of a hat without carefully putting one in there in the first place. The best way to predict the future is to create it. Most people's goals often get lost when they're struggling with the day-to-day challenges of running their firm, where distractions abound, everything's a crisis, and the urgent runs roughshod over the important. In this seminar, we approach the building of a business by dissecting it into components. To succeed in both the short and long term, you must think like a company president or chief strategist, a senior vice president of sales and marketing, and a chief technician/implementor.

As the ratio of predominantly physically demanding jobs (e.g., industrial or agricultural) vs. the predominantly mentally demanding jobs continues to fall, the concepts of "work" and "workplace" are being redefined more and more often with a meteoric rise in the number of people earning their living outside of a traditional corporate office environment. This seminar will help you determine and then manage your priorities so that you are "productive" and not just "busy" in both traditional and non-traditional settings but also help you cut through handling paperwork and interruptions that can block progress.
