Publisher's summary

There are countless books, seminars, and consultants that offer the secrets to everlasting business success. After heeding their advice, perhaps you manage your time more efficiently, write a compelling pitch letter, or close a few more deals. But after a week or a month, you revert to your old bad habits and mediocre performance, until the next hot new program comes along. The only lasting way to enhance your productivity and growth is to focus on a handful of basic concepts and repeat them week after week - and teach your staff to do the same.

This audiobook explains how to tune up virtually every area of your business systematically, with just a little disciplined focus. Spend an hour per week on each "impact area" of your business, and you will be astonished at how much you can accomplish.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Valuable advise from the trenches

There is a lot of practical, applicable advise in this book. Thanks to the engaging reading of Anthony Heald I enjoyed listening to the complete 9 hours of insight.

Life changing and empowering ideas

I have read countless books on business, marketing and sales but none have had the same impact that this one book did. It is well written and easy to understand. More importantly, it is packed with practical ideas that are ready to implement. I started implementing some ideas, even before reading to the end, and started seeing improved productivity and sales within days. This book should be compulsory reading for all small to medium sized businesses. I have recommended it to all my children.
