Staff turnover costs up to 150% of salary just think about the time, aggravation, recruiting, training, having to do the work yourself, spreading the workload to other team members

The day you stop learning new things is the day you start mentally dying

I believe in the value of regular training in areas where I feel I have gaps and also in my strong areas to make me look at things more critically.

And whenever possible I buy the DVDs of the training course because then I can review it later.

Over the weekend I watched the DVDs for part of a Pete Godfrey marketing training course that I did 18 months ago.  Re watching it later, I am getting so much more from this course than I got the first time.  I had already implemented what I thought were the main points for my business.  However re watching showed me extras that I did not see first time around.  Oh boy I missed a few real gems of information.  Actually I think implementing what I did and running with it has moved to a place when I can see extra information that I missed before.

My main study area is marketing and writing good marketing copy.  Even though I write a lot; I am the author of three books and part author of a fourth; writing is still a challenge for me.  At school I was dyslexic – not just an excuse for too lazy to learn my spelling.  I failed year 10 English and the spelling has dogged me through have several degrees. 

You may well have noticed I sometimes misspell in spite of spell check and careful checking.  I apologise because I do take literacy including spelling very seriously because it gives the impression of carelessness.

Anyway, back to training.  This is important for all of us and being able to re-watch and revise gives you new insights into how you can apply the information in your business.

That is why I paid a video expert to produce DVDs of my risk management workshops.  It helps me to evaluate my performance and it provides you with a resource that you can use repeatedly to help you and your staff in your business.

You can buy these DVDs plus the folder of notes and templates, two CDs and 2 books for only $368.50 this week on a half price special

This covers quality, safety and environment because the real issue is that you are probably unaware of the risks you are exposed to so looking at all three areas lets you check these out simply and easily instead of just hoping that they don’t exist.  The package takes you almost one third of the way through an integrated ISO management system. 

This is astonishing value! The real cost of the training in a live group is $2,750.

P.S. Have you noticed there is a difference between some businesses and the rest?  Some stand out because they avoid problems, they keep being successful regardless of the economic climate and the owners and managers do seem to have more time.  They seem almost "teflon coated".

The difference is easy to spot.  They have systems in place and their owners and managers are constantly alert and looking to learn more about  how to improve their business.  One of the very best ways to improve your business and get that "teflon coat" is to grab the half price opportunity to buy the risk management workshop package for the half price special of only $368.50 this week.

Do business owners have the life they want?

How many of you are small to medium business owners, especially those who want to grow their business, who really want an improved lifestyle?

When you own your own business there are so often those niggles in your mind about the mistakes from staff members that upsets, or even loses, a good customer; that delays a job because someone forgot to order one component; the too loud music that a neighbour objected to and called in the council or the EPA or worst of all the shortcut someone took doing a job that caused an injury and brought SafeWork officers down on you.

They agreed to talk!

In Durban, the world has agreed to begin talks to try to agree on action for climate change by 2015 for action beginning 2020. Don’t try holding your breath guys.

I thought they had all been talking for years but I suppose an agreement to talk may be a step forward.

It is up to individuals who care to take action I guess and I can help with my book Reduce your Carbon Footprint as individual copies or as reprint rights.

What Christmas Tree?

Most of you will choose between a cut pine tree and an artificial plastic tree. Did you ever think about which has the bigger environmental footprint?  It is interesting.

Do You Have Social Media Policies in your Business?

Fair Work Australia recently upheld the sacking of an employee who posted an offensive anti-work rant on his FaceBook page.
Frustrated by problems sorting out his pay, the Good Guys employee posted that he ”wonders how the f–k work can be so f–king useless and mess up my pay again. C–ts are going down tomorrow.”

Why we won’t need coal

Last month, the International Energy Agency released a report suggesting that the future of thermal coal exports could be threatened if the world ever decides to implement the policies to limit global warming to an average 2°C, rather than just merely talking about it.  No wonder they are only talking until 2015 and not taking action until 2020 while at the same time, ripping out ever more coal from Queensland..
