...new managers deserve the chance to learn from someone who has been where they are, not just someone who has been taught the theory...

"This course is the compilation of over 20 years of learning , study, experience, training and mentoring from many different people..

Over the years I have had the great priviledge of learning from a variety of people including successful University professors, entrepreneurs, division managers, sales managers, business owners, operations leaders, marketing gurus, instructors from GE's famous management training university in Crotonville (hailed by Harvard professors as having a stronger, more practical management training facility than Harvard), a few great supervisors, and a collection of people who's significant contribution was to show me what not to do.

I have had the awesome opportunity to travel the world and work with people from every continent (except Antarctica), and see some of the many ways people differ, and the many more ways in which we are all the same.

My trainers and colleagues have ranged from 100 thousand dollar business owners to heads of divisions sold for billions of dollars. I myself have had the opportunity to head up product lines with mid 8 figure annual sales, and to bring new products to market and nurture their growth from nothing into something real.

I feel fortunate for the opportunities I have been given in life and I think that all managers deserve a chance to learn from someone who has been in situations similar to their own and who has also already been where they are trying to go.

It’s easy for trained instructors to tell people what they should do, but you can only take your learning to that next level and learn to build truly actionable plans from someone who’s been there and understands the frustrations and challenges you face on a daily basis.

There are a lot of great books and classes out there on business and management, but the Management Boot Camp goes beyond that.

This course is about more than setting the right course.It's also about learning the tools and commuication strategites to keep you and your team motivated to move down that course towards your mutal objectives.

I have done this both the wrong way, and the right way in the past. I don’t just teach this, I live it in my own business and for my clients every day.

I hope you enjoy the course”

In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.

"Hi Daryl

When I subscribed ... I was still in employment. That was in 2006. Today I am running my own business and I have been able to get major clients in a span of one year... You have given me advice that has been so helpful to me since I didn't have any management skills. I still continue to learn from you and I hope to do that for a long time.

Regards"

"Hi Daryl

I just want to say that I've found your tips to be invaluable... In particular, your tips have helped me in decision making and reducing the level of procrastination that has been a bug bear for most of my career. I will continue to use the tips as they are not too lengthy and the info can be applied straight away."

"…these tips have been helpful as I am now acting manager of the largest LOTE (languages other than English) distributor/supplier in Australasia. I ended up in the position out of the blue and these tips have helped in enormous ways to understand the fundamentals of sales.

I have maintained an increase of 30% a month in sales per month and I do believe it's because I make sure I care about those I am dealing with and not treating them as a figure.

Thank you"

Best regards"

"Hi, Daryl...

I have been in the direct sales/cosmetics industry for 27 years and am currently a hotel general manager (3 years) with a staff of 27. I really enjoyed the tips several weeks ago about what guest buys and why they buy. Yes, they do buy us first...the sales person! That was so evident in cosmetic sales...because they can purchase products anywhere. In the hotel industry, over and over we have to rely on repeat business...and it was refreshing to be reminded the importance of great customer service."

"thanks man,

Boundless Thinking has made some big impression on me and my work. I work in a training institute in Nigeria where we have to combine all the skills I have learnt from the sessions: finding leads, conversion and actually delivering, then get the feedback and try to develop the next proposal in line with new information. My boss has verbally commended my ability to market recently. This makes me very proud. I recommend you to all."

"Hi Daryl,

I could not stand to stay still any more!
What do you expect? Complain? No way.

Actually I would feel guilty to keep quiet. It's true. The reasons are:

1. I think your [lessons] on achieving goals is great.
2. I felt I was involved in instead of just stay outside.
3. By experiencing your way to develop such business, I generally feel it's really possible...
4. Currently I am busy with my short term goal, so that I barely spend much time on reading and practice your concepts. But I am sure I will. That's why I keep all the text and voice material.

It's good to see your business getting mature. The progress itself may be more teaching than your course.

Best regards,"

"Hi Daryl,

I've been a manager for some time now, and over the past 10 years have managed all types - from green graduates to experienced personnel.

The information I've been receiving is great. It's allowed me to enhance my abilities, as well as refresh some of the, shall we say, less refined ones.

I've used much of your content in day to day work and in training staff.
I've even passed on relevant areas to my manager - as a "here's something interesting" and as a subtle hint to - maybe you should sign up too!

Anyway, I'm learning heaps, and it's been great.

Keep up the great initiative.

Regards,"

"Hi Daryl,

I am a librarian, regional manager for a library that is still in the developmental stage. Many of the tips I receive from you I find to be invaluable and not only save them for future use but share them with the staff I currently have.

Even though my enterprise is not in the for-profit realm, I am still able to glean useful ideas from your tips. Some of these may not apply to my job but to my personal life and I find them all very helpful.

Thanks..."

"Boundless Thinking Management Tips has been an incredible help to our non-profit.

Writing goals and objectives for what you are impassioned over ought to be simple. However knowing what you want to do and showing it in a feasible cohesive manner for others to understand and follow has been an incredible challenge. Your tips are well written and easy to apply."

"This Management Tutorial is really useful and can be practically implemented in real life.
The short lessons are well narrated and put across very good knowledge in less words."

Does this sound familiar...

"Every year I write out goals and objectives with my manager, but by the next day it's back to business as usual."

"I busted my [butt] to reach my targets last year, and my reward was that they set them even higher this year. Now I have no chance at all of reaching them. Nice reward: here's even more work"

"I don't even know what my manager's goals are. How am I supposed to align mine with theirs?"

"My goals and objectives at work are basically the same every year."

"I've tried setting goals and objectives, but I never have time to work on them"

"I don't have time to work on progressing my goals. I'm already doing 3 jobs. I'm just too busy to take on any more initiatives."

"Every year there's this big push to complete our goals and objectives for the year, but basically my manager tells me what my goals and objectives are and I just sign on the dotted line. These aren't my goals and objectives, they're his"

"I'm not allowed to change anything anyhow, what's the point of writing down my goals and objectives every year?"

"Writing down my goals just limits my flexibiliy. I want to remain open to everything"

"Honestly? I don't think my boss has any idea what he's doing. Not sure how I'm supposed to work with that."

"I have lot's of goals. The problem is I never seem to get them done!"

If any of this sounds familiar take heart you are not alone. The simple truth is that most of us were brought up in the era of instant gratification and have never been taught how to keep focused or how to effectively go about getting things done.

The good news is that it's never too late to learn how to make a difference. Let us help you take that first giant step towards making a real difference today.

"Great managers collect ideas from everywhere and have the business knowledge to know a good idea when they see it."
