Q1I don’t know if I will get the maximum benefit from The Rubicon Business Owner/Managers Programme because I can’t see how it will fit into my current situation, lifestyle, or business path is it the best investment or right fit for me right now?’

Let’s look at it this way, YOU and your business are a work in progress (everyone is) you need to build on your strengths and manage your weaknesses. The best performers in business or sport invest in themselves all the time. Remember, no matter how well you are doing (or not doing) just one extra piece of insight could be worth a fortune in terms of time saved or stress reduced or money earned

Q2 I don’t think I have the time to dedicate to a process like this is a webinar format as good as the class room why both methods?’

The whole point of a webinar is to save you time and get you started in a simple and easy format. Getting started is the biggest single reason the average person remains average. They delay and procrastinate, and the opportunity passes them by. With a webinar you can be sitting at your desk at 8.00am in the morning without the cost or time in travel or staying over, and have the real live experience by learning and interacting on your screen

Q 3 I don’t know if I can justify the investment in this kind of process maybe it’s not now?’

If not now, when? Remember, just one moment of insight or one technique or one strategy can pay for the whole process. And you will get hundreds of ideas, techniques and new approaches. You simply have not got time to learn by trial-and-error because of the accelerated pace of change and the avalanche of knowledge in today’s world. Why not learn from other people’s experiences? this is like ‘borrowing’ their expertise and experience

Q 4 I don’t know if the webinar format will be as beneficial as a live classroom experience or self study I am a bit fearful of it frankly’

I know how you feel about this new technology, many of our clients felt that way initially about similar technologies (eg tele or videoconferencing or Skype VOIP etc) but what they have found is that the upside far outweighs any possible down side Webinars make life easier and take away your two biggest excuses: money and time I haven’t got time and can’t afford it. A ‘webinar’ by the way is an abbreviation for ‘Web Seminar’. It’s an online event for delivering presentations between a presenter and a large remote audience via the web

Q 5 I don’t think I will have the discipline to implement the learning that will emerge have I the motivation?’

Today everyone who wants to make any kind of progress at all, needs to be a learner whole industries and countries will have to relearn from the economic recession and financial crash of 2009 -2010. Your competitive edge, even your very survival, is ingrained in your ability to learn and change change and learning go hand in hand. However, if you are not motivated to explore and learn then you should not attend even if you have the time and the money

Q6 I am quite happy doing things the way I do them and believe my business is on track I am a happy camper’

Living in the land of complacency is a form of learned helplessness that eventually destroys lives and businesses of all kinds. Remember 60% of businesses fail over time. As high as 80% of individuals in the developed world die broke or depending on government pension. Complacency is a deadly disease. Continuous learning is best completed when you are strong and doing well! Learning has never been a once off event
