Your Business Confidante helps businesses GET REAL

July 6, 2008

A large part of Zulu’s work is being the trusted professional person that can give advice, offer direction and provide practical business and marketing expertise to bounce ideas off.

These business facilitation skills are now realised in two ways to help people running businesses gain clarity, direction and control of planning and problems solving in their businesses.

1. Get Real - the networking event that brings people in business together to discuss the challenges of being in business

2. Business Confidante - the NEW facilitation and mentoring service that focuses on helping people in business work through issues and offers consistency and support with the process of planning, decision making and implementation.

Get Real

Get Real has proven so successful in particular for solo operators and consultants of all ages in businesses. Those in the start-up phase have have expressed how much they have learned about the challenges of being in businesses from those who have been around a the block a few times.

Those in business for a number of years have expressed relief at being able to talk to like-minded people and express the frustrations or concerns they’ve been sitting on for some time. We’re finding that we can offer a sounding board and support just by being open to having a conversation about it!

The next Get Real is on Thursday 31 July and is dedicated to businesses in that growth stage of 3-7 years. Bookings are being  taken now! click here to find out more

Business Confidante

Who can you confide in when it comes to working through a new aspect of your business or trying to find out what your opportunities are for moving your business on to the next stage?

Business Confidante is NOT coaching? It’s facilitating and mentoring you through a process that you can’t delegate to someone else - planning and decision making is your responsiblity. Without your confidence in your decisions - action probably won’t happen or be as assertiveor assured as it should be. click here to find out more

Get Real in September - To grow or not to grow?

June 30, 2008

The NEXT Get REAL networking lunch topic is:

TO GROW - OR NOT TO GROW - For businesses owners with businesses from all sizes and maturity (or immaturity ) needing to AIR AND SHARE their issues and gain some clarity and perspective.

WHEN: Friday 26th September from 12:30 - 3:00pm

Location: Zulu Communications in Balmain

Time: 12:30 - 3:00pm

Cost: $50 + GST

Get REAL is an open discussion about challenges of self employment and being in business

Being experts in our fields either for a short time or a long stretch does not automatically mean that we are experts at managing the challenges of running our own businesses. As we all know - the world of self employment and small business is fraught with challenges and it’s a hairy, scary rollercoaster ride sometimes.

Some of these challenges are easier to understand and overcome than others and at times we all feel STUCK and just need some friendly ears of understanding and other business brains to bounce off.

Is it time for you to Get Real??
