It is said that it isn't what you know but who you know. Well, in relation to Business Pathfinders, you get both.
After attending one of Julie's presentations in networking, I can honestly say that our business and networking experiences have skyrocketed. Firstly, the process by which one can network was clearly outlined in the presentation; secondly, it helped to reframe networking into a fun, exciting activity that is mutually beneficial to all; and thirdly, the content was to-the-point info that every business operator should hear.
In addition to providing such great training, Business Pathfinders has also proved an invaluable resource as we grow our business, providing sound mentoring advice helping us move forward.
I highly recommend Business Pathfinders to any business who is interested in moving forward and expanding their organisation.

Looking through the same old window, nothing really changes
But now I do consider how - thoughts and plans arranges
I am seeing through enlightened eyes, and newer windows too.
These windows are the tools, Julie introduced me to.
I have now been taught a better way to plot my moves and know
The decisions of "What I need to do- to get where I want to go"
These simple vital planning tools are surely tried and true
I'd like to now expand abit, by listing just a few
Mindmapping helps collect ideas and initiates improvements
And what are Magic wands - but merely wish list statements
Then there is the force field which answers vexing questions
It lists the "How do we get what we want" and "What is stopping us" suggestions
We learnt to do the 8 week team cycle - to activate our plans
And compare competing options with a Decision Matrix plan.
I now understand the Pareto 80/20 rule - knowing that its best
to change for the most impact, not wasting effort on the rest.
These tools help drive direction - allowing me with formal, clear intent
To create, revise and manipulate my One Page Plan content
So, no longer will my business plans just be filed away.
I'll use them very actively and now without delay
I'11 figure out my SCA and try to find my zebras
Then I'll set the "goals to aim for" and state my KPIs
Julie's pearls of wisdom help business plan formation
She says the plan should match the vision - the wanted destination
So if I verify the NOW and establish WHERE I want to go
I can then plan How I'm going to get business growth, I know
Thank you Julie and the shire - this program sure is great
and I'd like to thank Michelle; for all the goodies that I ate
