Welcome to episode 150! Success is about doing the right things not about doing everything right. Today is about asking yourself the right question to get extraordinary results in your life. What if you just had to focus on one thing and everything would fall into place? Think of a table of dominoes and you only have to knock over the right one and everything succinctly falls one by one by one until they are all down. As you think of your business do you have a very large to-do list every day and as you tick them off the list more are added and it seems overwhelming. How do we get results that make a big difference? It comes down to one question!  So, what’s the one question? Maxum Corporation - Inspiring Greatness Show Notes: http://maxumcorp.com.au/podcasts/

Welcome to episode 146! This week we will focus on how to ensure the strategic planning gets implemented and your company see results. If you are going to spend the time and money bring all your top line managers or key executives to an annual 1 or 2 full day strategic planning retreat then you must make sure you will be getting the amazing results. I see it happen all the time: A group of managers get together at a resort for two days to hammer out a “strategic plan.” Done and dusted, they all head home. But have they produced a plan with a strategy? Do they have the correct plan and how are they going to execute is critical, otherwise it was just a waste of time and money.
