The Effective Entrepreneur Workshop - Making Business Plans & Achieving Them

John Caines OBE has coached, invested in and otherwise observed many entrepreneurial ventures over the past decade. From that experience he has evolved a practical approach for Goal Setting and Planning for Entrepreneurs – and a method for Self Management by the entrepreneur, the vital factor in turning ambition into actual success. This workshop will give business owners the opportunity to understand and implement the results of Johns experience into their own business. 

 

Compared to more conventional text book business planning systems, a minimum of paperwork is generated – the Plan being ‘On a Page’ and the real world uncertainties of small and early stage businesses are reflected.

Once the Plan is complete, John deals with the crucial question of how we, as business leaders, change our own behaviour to turn the required outcome into a reality. Moving from ‘ideas’ to ‘action’ and sustaining those actions in the mayhem of everyday life is the most difficult thing for many of us.

 Each attendee will leave with their own ‘business on a page’, an immediately actionable work plan – and the means and resolve to make the right things happen starting right now.

The cost is £50 per attendee for non GIN members, with members receiving a special discounted rate of £20.  Non members can also take advantage of this price if they book into the GIN business breakfast meeting that starts at 6.45am prior to the seminar. The cost of breakfast is £10.

John has kindly donated his time to deliver this event for free and ALL the proceeds will be donated to the Fredericks Foundation (Gloucestershire)
