In these economic times, the organisations and individuals best prepared for the downturns and upswings will be the ones that create sustainable success.
Normally organisations wait until the end of January to start planning their year, and most individuals make a pseudo-attempt after too many flutes of champagne on New Years Eve. Sorry to break the news, but you cannot afford to wait that long this year.

Normally organisations wait until the end of January to start planning their year, and most individuals make a pseudo-attempt after too many flutes of champagne on New Years Eve. Sorry to break the news, but you cannot afford to wait that long this year. How great would it be to start 2009 with a motivated team with a clear sense of what is possible and is capable of exploring new opportunities that present themselves. Kick start 2009 ahead of everyone else. I wanted to invite you and your team to a special seminar on December 1st 2008 at Fox Studios that is being run my good friend and business partner Rowdy McLean. Rowdy and I are both founding partners of New Solutions Speakers - a co-operative of Australia's leading experts. We will be running a series of Masterclasses in 2009 together with some of Australia's leading thought leaders, and Rowdy's December 1 event is the kick-off for a series that will include topics like leadership, funky thinking, personal branding, innovation, generational trends, organisational culture and other cutting-edge themes. Rowdy is famous for helping people get off their backsides and into action. I will be attending this seminar myself to chart Thinque's course for 2009 so it would be a great opportunity to catch up. Rowdy is a **thought leader** on "**motivation**", "**execution**" and "**achievement**" and inspires individuals, teams and organisations to make the impossible possible, and his topic is the perfect way to kick-off 2009 with. This seminar is designed to allow individuals to tap the depths of their talents, create a set of goals and targets, to be inspired to achieve outstanding results and to create an action plan for success. See the attached registration form. Please register to join me by faxing the completed registration form to (02) 9012 0020. I look forward to seeing you on 1st December. PS. As a bonus, I will be spending an 'espresso execution hour' with my attending clients afterwards, so that you can start kicking some goals there and then. PPS. As you'd know, Obama won the election. I am curious what (if anything) this illustrates about the upgrade in thinking in the world.
