Hirsch’s Centurion once again hosted a successful
Business Networking Morning, with almost 80% of those in attendance being
business owners and entrepreneurs.
Our guest speaker, SJ Pretorius spoke on ‘5 Essential
Time Horizons for a Practical Strategic plan’.
SJ is a Passionate Business Coach, owner and founder of
Ubequity Coaching and Mentoring. His latest customer’s Sales Team saw an
average monthly sales increase of 40% in 6 months. SJ is also the BNI
Tshwane-Area Director Consultant, and is a sought after Master of Ceremonies.
He shared on various tools which he has adapted from the
book ‘Mastering The Rockefeller Habits’ by author Verne Harnish
©2002. Importance is placed on firstly determining what your Core Values
and Beliefs are: “when your values are clear, all your decisions are
easier”. Some of the other principles touched on where:
Targets (Where) – Measuring Revenue, Profitability and
Market value
Goals (What) – Where do you want your Organisation to be
one year from now
Actions (How) – How you plan to meet your targets and
goals
Immediate Execution – Daily and weekly micro-goals, and
making sure that you are held accountable for these
The feedback afterwards was very positive, with one of
our guests, Lelanie Greef (who holds her Master Degree in Strategic Planning)
stating: “all the principles touched on by SJ ring true, and are essential in
ensuring your business is run effectively”.
With opportunity given to all guests to give a 30 second
presentation of their business, invaluable business contacts were made.
This opened the door for effective networking on a more informal basis
afterwards.
