Presentation Notes
Determine to be the preferred choice in your field, the first and best by far….. Decide, plan and act on it!!! In everything you do give more value than the competition. Invest in making life better for your customers and stakeholders. Distinction brings premium pricing. Curiosity: Stay hungry for new and better ways of doing things, ask questions, explore the world of possibilities…. David asked “what shall be given to the man who will slay this giant. Innovation means bringing out new and better ways to do things. It ir premised on challenging the status quo or asking questions. You will make mistakes on the journey… A service, an order, an opportunity could go badly wrong. Learn quickly, go all out to correct it and avoid repitition.
Keep Measuring & Maintaining Service Quality
4. Capacity Knowledge, Skills & Technologies
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The abilities, skills and knowledge required at the beginning of a business are markedly different from those required as you progress to the top. Acquire relevant knowledge in management, people skills, leadership, mergers, acquisitions, expansion, branch networks, franchises. Reaching rapidly beyond your immediate environs requires exponential growth and that can only be driven by technologies, traditional and social media. Understand the efficiency and reach provided by the various media forms and use them appropriately. You may remain good but unknown if you don’t. Learn new languages and concepts… international application and relevance, language of money, language of international ministry and business. The higher you go, the more acute the protocols for survival and operation… You cannot make certain mistakes in certain levels. You therefore need to learn public speaking skills, dressing, how to greet, cultural issues, protocols, socialisation skills, different audiences, cultures and board meetings etc.
5. Awareness Sense of Timing & Opportunity
6. Legacy (Branding)
Million-impact Plan
Presenter
Presentation Notes
So what name will you leave behind? When all is said and done, what reputation do you have today and what will be your legacy tomorrow. Your legacy tomorrow starts with your reputation today. Understand the principle of branding. Make deliberate choices. Consistently think about how to reach your first million people, how to make your first million cedis, how to touch a million readers, a million facebook fans, or a million something!!!!…. As you cross that barrier, the rest of the world will open up to you. Live your life so well that when you come to the end you can say like Christ that it is finished, Like Paul that I have finished the course or even if you don’t say it yourself, live so well that others willl say you lived full and died empty!!!
