I BOUGHT MY FIRST BUSINESS 30 YEARS AGO

A LOT HAS CHANGED IN THAT TIME, BUT A LOT HAS STAYED THE SAME

Andrew GriffithsInternational Bestselling

Author, 11 books now sold in over 50 countries globally

THE BIGGEST GAME CHANGER FOR ME WAS BECOMING AN AUTHOR...

THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH HAVE CHANGED A LOT

AND I SEEM TO HAVE DEVELOPED A MEDIA PROFILE

THE TIDE HAS TURNED, OPPORTUNITY IS HERE

MY ADVICE FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS IN 2014?

FOCUS ON THESE 10 KEY ASPECTS OF DOING BUSINESS

1. IT’S TIME TO PUT ALL OF YOUR EGGS IN THE ONE BASKET

MASTER YOUR CRAFT - BECOME KNOWN FOR SOMETHING

BUILD YOUR REPUTATION AS THE BEST IN YOUR SPACE

2. THE WORLD HAS CHANGED…HAVE YOU?

3. EITHER ADD VALUE OR GET OUT OF THE WAY

HOW DO YOU ADD VALUE?

We live in the age where information is the greatest commodity - share your information.

!

Be useful to your customers and they will keep coming back.

!

Educate them. Assist them. Help them.

4. FOCUS ON ONE THING - AND ONE THING ALONE.

PUT EVERY WAKING MOMENT INTO MAKING EVERY SINGLE INTERACTION WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS BETTER.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS.

VERY FEW BUSINESSES GET THIS RIGHT

UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT, EVERY SINGLE CENT YOU SPEND ON ADVERTISING IS A WASTE OF MONEY.

MASTER THIS AND YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO CHASE A CUSTOMER AGAIN.

5. BREAK MORE STUFF

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE CONSERVATIVE

DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAKE RISKS

HOW MUCH STUFF ARE YOU BREAKING?

6. CHANGE YOUR LANGUAGE

GET MORE PERSONAL, LET PEOPLE INTO YOUR BUSINESS, TELL THEM THE STORY BEHIND YOUR BUSINESS

7. IF YOU WANT A BETTER BUSINESS BECOME A BETTER PERSON

MY TAKE ON THIS….

1. Treat everyone you encounter with the utmost respect. 2. Be ridiculously polite. 3. Small gestures make a big difference. 4. Look for the win/win in every situation. 5. Put yourself in the other guy’s shoes. 6. Be generous. 7. Never judge a book by its cover.

8. HARDEN THE F*#K UP

NO ONE SAID BUSINESS WAS GOING TO BE EASY, BUT IS IT REALLY AS HARD AS YOU MAKE IT OUT TO BE?

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER…

IF EVERY OTHER BUSINESS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOURS, GET OUT!

THE CORPORATE WORLD IS MUCH EASIER RIGHT?

IF BELIEVE THIS, YOU ARE BEING DELUSIONAL.

9. STOP PLAYING A SMALL GAME

SET THE BAR HIGH FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAMTHINK GLOBALLY. BECOME A WORLD CLASS BUSINESS IN EVERY WAY.

10. SOW MORE SEEDS

10. SOW MORE SEEDSINVEST IN BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS,ACTING WITH INTEGRITY,

CREATING WIN/WIN SCENARIOS - ALWAYS

HOW MANY SEEDS DO YOU SOW EACH AND EVERY DAY?

THE SEEDS YOU PLANT TODAY WILL FEED YOUR BUSINESS TOMORROW

So to summarise:

1. It’s time to put all of your eggs into the one basket2. The world has changed - have you? 3. Either add value or get out of the way4. Focus on one thing and one thing alone5. Break more stuff6. Change your language7. If you want a better business become a better person8. Harden the F*#K up9. Stop playing a small game10. Sow more seeds

A final thought from me to you: !!

“Never listen to the people who take great joy in telling you all of the things you can’t do”

“WELL ANDREW, THIS IS ALL VERY KUM BA YAH’ISH”

30 YEARS DOWN THE LINE…SOME THINGS DON’T CHANGE

THE GREATEST WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL, IN ANY BUSINESS, IS TO DEVELOP, CULTIVATE, MAINTAIN AND SHARE

THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.

AND THIS REQUIRES ATTENTION EVERY SINGLE DAY, OF EVERY SINGLE WEEK, OF EVERY SINGLE MONTH,

OF EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
