Changes don’t need to be big – but they need to matter

October 16, 2014 by Zac de Silva Leave a Comment

One quick question for you today – what can you improve on this week? Get away from the day-to-day hustle, from fighting the fires and from what feels like Groundhog Day. Those things aren’t going anywhere – unless you improve something that affects them.

Think about the processes involved in your business. What doesn’t work or could work better? Talk to your team – ask them for a detailed explanation on how they do things and how things get done. Ask them if they’ve thought that there must be a better way. If you can’t think of a way to improve it, go for a collaborative approach – ask the wider team for their thoughts.

Not every change you make in business needs to be big – but it does need to matter. It needs to make something better, easier, cheaper somewhere down the line. So what can you improve on this week?

"The business planning workshop run by Zac is a great opportunity to challenge existing thinking in your business and take results to the next level. The workshop was well thought out and provided a structured environment to channel ideas and ambitions. Zac has the perfect presenting style allowing for plenty of interaction amongst your team and networking with other business from a variety of backgrounds. Highly recommended"

"Zac’s business workshop totally exceeded my expectations. The two days are well planned out to ensure your thought process takes you through the various stages needed to question why you are in business, where your business currently is at and where you want your business to be. Provoking questions, explanations, stories, presentations from successful entrepreneurs and of course Zac’s personal attention ensure you walk away with a clear and dynamic business plan. The venue was perfect, the lunch and refreshments sublime."

"Transformational… Revolutionary… Awesome… Take your pick! Our business looks nothing like it did just three months ago – our brand is visible in the market, there’s a buzz about what we are doing, doors are opening and our heads are in the game. Business Changing changes business for the better… I’m very very thankful we met – my only regret is that we didn’t seek you out sooner!"
Nick Brown, Huffman Sauces
"Great two-day workshop that gives you a chance to reflect on your business, and focus on key points that need to be addressed to maximize your effectiveness and outcomes. The workshop was both entertaining and informative and really helped us to think about how we might navigate Covid / post-Covid, and plan out our next few years to guide the direction of the business. Food and hospitality was also great. Highly recommended!"

Zac’s ability to ask questions that are relative and beneficial have helped me grow the business and my self-awareness and create a more enjoyable workplace. Give Zac an inch and he’ll take you a mile!”
