Kathy Ellis shared thisHow To Future-Proof Your Business in a Post-COVID World Webinar — Harnessing the power of uncertainty and complexity to take full advantage of the opportunities COVID has presented. You’ll hear the story of how making different decisions led one company to turn sales from $3M a year to $3M a month — in less than seven years! You’ll learn how this same company’s sales dropped 95% in late 2020 due to COVID and how they are creating a new future because of it. See the process in action: Where to look for opportunity. Understanding the three elements of a good decision: Assessing market demand - thinking in ranges vs. single numbers and how this dramatically and positively changes the prediction game and handles uncertainty. Validating the required capabilities and capacity. When and where you may need flexibility. Bottomline expectations and what not-always apparent measurements are needed to translate sales + capacity into a good profit prediction. (Note: this is the first change that allowed the above company to go from $3M a year to $3M+ a month in less than seven years). How and where to insert triggers or signals that indicate a new assessment is necessary. How to keep the process going so you can always look into the eyes of uncertainty and capitalize on it.

Great question and one that Karl Maier will answer for you. It's in the research on his new book. We're also gifting a copy of that book to those who can join us. KE

Kathy Ellis liked thisKathy Ellis liked thisHow to solve impossible Problems or make impossible Decision with The Outsider's Advantage Ever noticed how you can effortlessly solve a friend's problem or the problem of a ckient’s business, but when it comes to your own, it's like hitting a brick wall? It's a question that resonates with many of us. We've all been there, offering crystal clear advice on relationships or business strategies to others, while we might be struggling to solve sumilqr issues in our own lives or business../ The answer? It's called “the emotion trap”. 🌪️ When dealing with others' problems, we're detached, objective. But our own issues? They're a whirlwind of emotions. Exaggerated fears of loss, effort or risk can cause us to keep procrastinating in making changes that we rationally know will be good for us. And exaggerated frustrations with the status quo or, exaggerated expectations of the future state can cause us to over-react and make changes we probably rationally know will be bad for us. These emotional storms, clouds our judgment, making solutions seem out of reach. So, what's the trick to overcoming this? Here is a simple yet powerful hack: Pretend the problem is not yours, but a friend's. What advice would you give them? This shift in perspective can be the key to unlocking solutions, allowing us to bypass the emotional trap and see the situation more clearly. Its called the oursider’s advantage. Let's start looking at our problems as if they were someone else's. You might be surprised at how much easier solutions come to you. Try it and please share your experiences! PS: to benefit from this outsider’s advantage, you can download my free Harmony Decision Maker app from your mobile app store. It uses a virtual advisor that provides the outside advantage to helo you solve any difficult problem irrespective of resolve any difficult decision conflict #ProblemSolving #EmotionalIntelligence #DrAlanBarnard #LifeHacks #PerspectiveShift #outsideradvantage #harmonydecisionmaker --- Feel free to adjust the content to better suit your audience and platform.

Kathy Ellis liked thisKathy Ellis liked thisWhen you say marketing, you actually mean advertising. When I say it, I mean figuring out what it takes to make money. Both now, and even more in the future. If a picture is truly worth 1000 words, then this illustration speaks volumes. Remember, every time you hear marketing from someone on the Internet, 98% of the time they really are describing advertising. It’s actually quite sad. If you have yet to read this book, guess what? Time is running out. In fact, if you had some things you needed to get done in July, that ship has sailed. Welcome to August! Dr. Eli Goldratt preached that marketing is figuring out that Ducks like and eat corn. Marketing is figuring out what corn your ducks like to eat. But it’s a whole lot more than that. Marketing is figuring out what lakes your ducks like to hang out at while consuming mass quantities of corn. Marketing is also telling the CEO that your company’s mix of goods and services don’t really appeal to anyone. Or maybe, that new project has zero Duck appeal. That is correct, every new product launch looks exactly like the chart on the cover of Geoffrey Moore’s book. Hence, the need to LEARN what marketing REALLY is and what it is not. #marketing #doneRight is #Art & #Science Simply put, you cannot advertise your way across that chasm!
