...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”

"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"

"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..."

"This Management Tutorial is really useful
and can be practically implemented in real life.

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.

positive change, not maintain the status-quo." |
"If
you think your job as a manager is just to keep things
running smoothly then you will never be recognized as
a true leader." |
"Great
managers collect ideas from everywhere and have the business
knowledge to know a good idea when they see it." |
"A
big part of defining actionable goals is understanding
all the great things you are not going to do" |
"Every
effective manager I know got started by taking responsibility
and action for their own education and success" |
