How to Fix Meetings - Meet Less Focus on Outcomes and Get Stuff Done

Graham Allcott, Hayley Watts

Summary

'An accessible thought provoking book that offers something of interest to anyone responsible for organising (or participating in) meetings.' Jackie Weaver, Chief Officer of the Cheshire Association of Local Councils

Zoom fatigue? Calendar full of meetings that could just be an email? Online and offline, too much valuable time is wasted in meetings. Often little advance planning takes place, resulting in productivity drains rather than productivity gains.

Providing realistic and practical advice, productivity professionals Graham Allcott and Hayley Watts show how to reduce the amount of time you spend in meetings, and ensure that the ones that you do attend are genuine opportunities to collaborate and get things done.

Learn how to hold and attend meetings where the focus is on the outcome; get to grips with the 40–20–40 Continuum, so that only 20 per cent of your attention for each meeting is spent in the meeting itself – the rest is in the preparation and the follow-through; and understand when it's necessary to say that you won't be attending – and how best to do so.

7 Figure Profits: 7 Strategies...

Jackson Millan, Rakesh Nairn

Ever dream of creating 7 figure profits in your business? You're not alone...
Imagine unlocking the secret to making money. You'd master it so well that it transforms your life and sets a foundation for generations. It is the kind of mastery that turns business success into a legacy of wealth. It lets you and your family live life on your terms. It fuels passions and enables a support system. This system nurtures these dreams through every generation.
Sounds like a fantasy? It's more attainable than you think.
The truth is, many business owners excel at making money. But, they fail at the next crucial step: keeping it, growing it, and using it to work for them as hard as they did for it. They're caught in what I call 'CashFlow Bottlenecks'. These are sneaky, small drains on your hard-earned cash. They silently sap your business's financial health.
"7 Figure Profits" isn't just another business finance book. This guide is for real-world entrepreneurs and has been battle-tested with thousands of business owners with life-changing results.
Have you pushed your business into the 7-figure realm but feel the strain of scaling? Are you feeling the financial pressure of managing that success without it getting the best of you?
In collaboration with my business partner and tax expert, Rakesh Nairn, we've worked with service businesses to decode the language of money, distilling all our closely guarded secrets into this book.
These are the same strategies used by our clients to boost their profits by 15-20% on average. This has resulted in tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands in extra surplus.
You'll get actionable strategies that cover:
Structuring your cash flow to serve your business and personal wealth
Understanding your financial story through the numbers
Renovating your financial model for scalability and sustainability
Reverse-engineering your KPIs to align with your life's dreams
Sidestepping the dreaded 'scale tax' that cripples high-growth businesses

With these strategies, you can sell any product or service like a mango—because it’s not the product or service that makes the difference; it’s the seller.
