Attached you will find today's presentation on people management to the franchisee's of Granite Transformations UK. It has been a pleasure being in Birmingham and be able to exchange views and ideas with a great group of people. The four strategies I advise: 1) Improve management style (proactivity, better emotional response, praise people, work on people positive sides). 2) Manage time: at least 20-30% of your time should be used to do things that are not urgent bu are importanti. 3) Build a team of people who can grow and help you delegate. When you wear two major hats simultaneously your company tends to stop. 4) StudyHere is the video of Stephen Covey on time management: Paolo Ruggeri
Today I have delivered a seminar to a group of 150 Bulgarian entrepreneurs in Varna and I described what European Small and Mid Size Entreprises do to beat the economic downturn: 1) When sales go down, do not blame it on the crisis but first of all handle internal reasons2) Realize that hard work has changed and you have to go out of your comfort zone to build value3) Embrace marketing and have at least one person in the company who takes care of this very important activity. 4) Look after the financial aspects and measure the cash flow every month. 5) Surround yourself with excellent people: use tools to hire people who will make a difference. 6) Write your goals and pursue an exciting plan for your company.

Yesterday I have received the following e-mail from a very successful entrepreneur who was talking about business and profit. I quote him because what he said is very interesting: "NEVER START ANYTHING FROM THE PROFIT POINT OF VIEW!! PROFIT IS ONLY A CONSEQUENCE OF BUSINESS BUT NOT THE STARTING POINT. There are normally two reasons why business fail: 1) When your numbers people are in front of you ( meaning that they drive you in your business decisions) or 2) When your number people are behind you (meaning when you forget them and you don't even ask them for an opinion). Business prospers when the financial people are on your side side (meaning when you involve them in the decisions but you ultimately decide)." Very very true!!! Paolo Ruggeri
