 Attorney Eugene Zelek will return the 2018 SEMA Show to lead an important session on MAP policies and practices. |
Forbes contributor Siimon Reynolds once asked the question, “What is the most crucial aspect of business to focus on to ensure success?” Reynolds suggested that answers to this question would likely include sales, marketing, leadership, systems and financial acumen. However, he concluded that the underlying element contributing to success is urgency.
According to Reynolds, “The No. 1 gripe of executives and entrepreneurs today is that they can’t get enough done.”
One implication is that executives and entrepreneurs must empower their staff by providing the tools and resources to help move the business forward and ensure success by creating a shared sense of urgency.
Below are five sessions that will help your team do just that:

Why You Make More Money When You Have a Business Plan
All businesses in the trade were started with an idea. Unfortunately, most ideas were never written down and developed into a plan of action.
