It’s one thing running a series of Dramatic Business Growth seminars and another to make time to actually action some of the fabulous tips, tasks and techniques presented there each month.
As ER Haas says on the subject of SUCCESS – “You CAN succeed at whatever you do, as long as you simply take the right ACTIONS”. You may remember this as a recent Daily Tickler from intime PROFIT.
Haas has founded 12 different businesses since leaving graduate school in 1968... some wildly successful... some flops. ("You'll never know success until you've experienced the cold edge of failure" is one of Haas' favorite quotes!).
The intime PROFIT Seminars are intended to equip business owners and managers with deliverable techniques to grow their business, increase sales and deliver sustainably greater profits – ideally without the ‘flops’ but definitely through ‘action’.

Invaluable information builds each month, which delegates take away with them to consider and apply within the context of their own businesses. The trouble is though, once they leave the thought-fuelled atmosphere of the 18th century coach house on Duncan Lawrie’s estate in Wrotham , Kent
Last month, the seminar asked each delegate to write down just three of the tips they were going to turn into tasks to apply before convening again next time. OK, we did have Christmas and New Year between the two, but even so … how many tasks were actually actioned?
As co-hosts, we are not exempt from learning (it’s impossible not to) and therefore not exempt from actioning the plans and applying the good practice.
The two things we have actioned this month are; firstly to action the re-writing of our website to bring it in to line with current thought and future services; and secondly to refine and apply our elevator pitch.
Each delegate has been learning and refining their sixty second corporate intro or elevator pitch. You learn much from the techniques being suggested. You learn even more by refining its application. The ultimate lesson though is surely to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT – action it.
Here’s ours:
We think it’s rather good – and now, in the days of a ‘Ronseal Government’ - we too do exactly what we say in the elevator.
If you want to go up in the business world, here’s a tip or four for free:
