2. I BOUGHT MY FIRST
BUSINESS 30 YEARS AGO
Andrew Griffiths
International Bestselling
Author, 11 books now sold in
over 50 countries globally
A LOT HAS CHANGED IN THAT TIME,
BUT A LOT HAS STAYED THE SAME

3. THE BIGGEST GAME CHANGER FOR ME WAS BECOMING
AN AUTHOR...

6. THE PEOPLE I WORK WITH HAVE CHANGED A LOT

7. AND I SEEM TO HAVE DEVELOPED A MEDIA PROFILE

8. THE TIDE HAS TURNED, OPPORTUNITY IS HERE

9. MY ADVICE FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS
IN 2014?
FOCUS ON THESE 10 KEY
ASPECTS OF DOING BUSINESS

10. 1. IT’S TIME TO PUT ALL OF YOUR EGGS IN THE ONE BASKET

11. MASTER YOUR CRAFT - BECOME KNOWN FOR SOMETHING
BUILD YOUR REPUTATION AS THE BEST IN YOUR SPACE

12. 2. THE WORLD HAS CHANGED…HAVE YOU?

14. 3. EITHER ADD VALUE OR GET OUT OF THE WAY

15. HOW DO YOU ADD VALUE?
We live in the age where information is the greatest
commodity - share your information.
!
Be useful to your customers and
they will keep coming back.
!
Educate them.
Assist them.
Help them.

16. 4. FOCUS ON ONE THING - AND ONE THING ALONE.

17. PUT EVERY WAKING MOMENT INTO MAKING EVERY SINGLE
INTERACTION WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS BETTER.

18. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS.

19. VERY FEW BUSINESSES GET THIS RIGHT

20. UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT, EVERY SINGLE CENT YOU SPEND
ON ADVERTISING IS A WASTE OF MONEY.

21. MASTER THIS AND YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO CHASE A
CUSTOMER AGAIN.

22. 5. BREAK MORE STUFF

23. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE CONSERVATIVE
DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAKE RISKS

24. HOW MUCH STUFF ARE YOU BREAKING?

25. 6. CHANGE YOUR LANGUAGE
GET MORE PERSONAL, LET PEOPLE INTO YOUR BUSINESS,
TELL THEM THE STORY BEHIND YOUR BUSINESS

26. 7. IF YOU WANT A BETTER BUSINESS BECOME A BETTER PERSON

27. CHECK OUT MY ARTICLE ON INC.COM

28. MY TAKE ON THIS….
1. Treat everyone you encounter with the utmost respect.
2. Be ridiculously polite.
3. Small gestures make a big difference.
4. Look for the win/win in every situation.
5. Put yourself in the other guy’s shoes.
6. Be generous.
7. Never judge a book by its cover.

29. 8. HARDEN THE F*#K UP
NO ONE SAID BUSINESS WAS GOING TO BE EASY, BUT IS IT REALLY
AS HARD AS YOU MAKE IT OUT TO BE?

30. THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER…
IF EVERY OTHER BUSINESS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN
YOURS, GET OUT!

31. THE CORPORATE WORLD IS MUCH EASIER RIGHT?
IF BELIEVE THIS, YOU ARE BEING DELUSIONAL.

32. 9. STOP PLAYING A SMALL GAME

33. THINK SET THE BAR HIGH FORWORLD CLASS BUSINESS
GLOBALLY. BECOME A YOU AND YOUR TEAM
IN EVERY WAY.

34. 10. SOW MORE SEEDS

35. INVEST IN BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS,
10. SOW MORE SEEDS
ACTING WITH INTEGRITY,
CREATING WIN/WIN SCENARIOS - ALWAYS

36. HOW MANY SEEDS DO YOU SOW EACH AND EVERY DAY?
THE SEEDS YOU PLANT TODAY WILL FEED YOUR
BUSINESS TOMORROW

37. So to summarise:
1. It’s time to put all of your eggs into the one basket
2. The world has changed - have you?
3. Either add value or get out of the way
4. Focus on one thing and one thing alone
5. Break more stuff
6. Change your language
7. If you want a better business become a better person
8. Harden the F*#K up
9. Stop playing a small game
10. Sow more seeds

38. A final thought from me to you:
!
!
“Never listen to the people who take great joy in telling
you all of the things you can’t do”

39. “WELL ANDREW, THIS IS ALL VERY KUM BA YAH’ISH”

40. 30 YEARS DOWN THE LINE…SOME THINGS DON’T CHANGE

41. THE GREATEST WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL, IN ANY BUSINESS,
IS TO DEVELOP, CULTIVATE, MAINTAIN AND SHARE
THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.

42. AND THIS REQUIRES ATTENTION EVERY SINGLE DAY,
OF EVERY SINGLE WEEK, OF EVERY SINGLE MONTH,
OF EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
