Paul McCarthy

Tuesday 6th July 2010

A Corporation of One is part of Australian award-winning speaker Paul McCarthy’s FOCUSED presentation series. Each presentation in the series is designed to provide audiences with clear, practical and easy to implement ‘how to’ strategies
that encourage immediate action. 

A Corporation of One explores how solo-preneurs can more effectively tackle the challenge of working alone. When you are the only person responsible for creating results in your business, it can be challenging to remain focused, motivated and effective. In this high energy and interactive presentation, award winning speaker Paul McCarthy reveals how you can not only improve the results you produce, you can dramatically accelerate the growth of your business by placing your attention on a number of critical areas. 

When you are the chief cook and bottle washer, it is easy to get distracted by all the things that need to be done and ignore the activities that can have a real impact on your business and the level of profit you produce.  In this presentation Paul will show you how to refocus your attention, reprioritise your activities and re-energise your approach. 

Participants will learn:
• Where to best focus their attention to create maximum profit
• How to build real brand awareness
• How to accelerate business growth
• Innovative marketing strategies
• How to maintain energy and focus
• How to be small and appear big
• How to out-manoeuvre larger competitors
• Plus much, much more!
 
Knowing how to think both strategically and tactically are essential for the solo-preneur. A Corporation of One looks at the critical skills and decisions required to build an unstoppable small business. Participants will receive a swag of innovative sales and marketing ideas designed to grow their business and maximise their profitability.  
What People Say about A Corporation of One:
 
From the moment Paul started to when he finished, the audience was challenged, entertained and engaged by the material being presented. The practical advice and experience-based anecdotes gave Paul credibility and the complete attention of everyone in attendance. The feedback I have received from those that attended this presentation guarantee Paul will be welcome at any follow-up session in the future.
