12 Steps to Implementing Anything in Your Business: Overview
Knowing what to do to improve and grow your business is a far cry from actually getting it done, in other words, execution.
You might well ask why execution is so important.
Firstly, no matter how well a business is doing, if you look deep enough you will find problems and mistakes in the execution performance of the staff, work started but not completed, work delivering less than promised, error and rework having to be done, returns and refunds etc.
Second your staff, I am willing to bet, have never been trained on how to execute properly and truth be told if you want to grow and build your business your staff simply need to execute far better in order to keep up with and get ahead of the rapidly and constantly changing marketplace.
In 12 articles I will outline the 12 steps to better execution, whether it is a new project or just doing things better, the steps will provide a framework for execution discipline. If you use it you will be able to execute your immediate goals, build long term growth potential and bring focus to your business.
Like learning any new discipline, it may feel awkward and slow as first, as you try to implement the framework. However, with practice you and your staff will become more and more adept and versatile using the framework.
Good execution becomes natural and effective when it is based on a methodical and repeatable framework the basic disciplines of execution still stand as pillars of sustained business growth.
The 12 steps are:
1. Take responsibility.
2. Define your assignment in writing
3. Organise a team and create a strategy.
4. Get input and support from all staff.
5. Create momentum.
6. Use Plans, schedules, budgets and controls
7. Make demands effectively.
8. Follow up, follow up and then follow up some more
9. Overcome resistance and opposition
10. Use creative problem solving
11. Create and manage the final big push towards the objective.
12 Start again using what you have learned.

Re: HOw to market a B2B consulting company
- [quote="zohahunt77":428owzbi]Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between B2B and B2C. I don’t know about b2b marketing but I have done marketing so know things about it. I will suggest you to take online services which will spread your business all over web network. Online marketing is the best way to market any business.[/quote:428owzbi]
B2B = Business to Business - You are marketing to other businesses.
B2C = Business to Consumer - You are marketing to consumers.

Re: Drop out Billionaire
- I reveived Bill Bartmann's DVD "9 Steps To Achieve Any Goal" as part of my monthly pack from Success University a few months back.
It is a great presentation. I've watched it several times but not for a while so I'll view it again in the coming week.
He is one of the greats. Like the best success mentors, he speaks with authority because he has come through much tribulation.
His program sounds like a great bargain at $100 a year.
