2 days that could just change your life!

I always ask the question; "What are you willing to do today to become more successful tomorrow?"

So next month, on July 17th & 18th you and I will get the opportunity to work on your restaurant together and create a GamePlan for moving it to the next level! I will be conducting my first "whiteboard session"! A "no holds barred" chance for you to get together with a couple of whiteboards, 14 other owners and operators along with myself here in Dallas to create a GamePlan for moving your business forward.

There will be no agenda other than the one you create from the areas of your operation you want to discuss over the two days. Also, since small groups accomplish more in a shorter timeframe, I am limiting it to only the first 15 people who respond. It can be you and your GM, spouse, partner, whomever. But I will only accept 15 people.

The price for the two day sesion is $299 per person. If you're a coaching client your price is only $199 I have had so many requests for this that I seriously expect the slots to be filled by the end of today. Right now, I have no plans for another one any time soon. I am just way too busy traveling the country coaching clients.

Get a coach now or your competition just might beat you to it!

Executive coaching yields ROI nearly six times its cost, according to a new study from consultancy N2growth. Executives who received such guidance estimated its value at nearly six times the expense.

Most of the returns came in the form of productivity (cited by 53% of those surveyed); work quality (48%); organization strength (48%); customer service (39%); reduced customer complaints (34%); retention rates among those receive coaching (32%); cost reductions (23%); and bottom-line profitability (22%). The study was conducted among 100 executives, primarily from Fortune 1000 companies. Most held positions of vice president or higher.

So after a nearly 100% tax deductible expediture for coaching, users got back a 6 fold return on their money. This included productivity gains, work quality inprovements, a stronger business, better guest service, reduced guest complaints, better staff retention and let's not forget improved profitability!

Couple that along with a 100% guarantee and you wonder why everyone doesn't have a coach working with them? I wonder about it constantly because I just don't get it. This is the biggest single thing an owner could do to improve and yet they are always skeptical about the need for one!

Let's hope I don't start working for your competition!
