Starting with a bang...

I’ve spent most of the past year working on my much anticipated book – The Biker’s Guide to Business. But it’s a New Year and time to get my head out of my tailpipe and begin blogging on a regular basis.

You can expect at least one per week from me on a business topic that’s relevant to my world and yours. For January I’m going to focus on the value of offsite meetings. I love offsite meetings as it’s a great way to get everyone on the same page quickly - especially when starting a new year.

Four of my clients have rocketed out of the shoot with offsite meetings this month spending a day or two focusing on how to reach their goals this year. The thing I don’t understand is why more companies don’t do it.

It could be that most business people associate off site meetings as taking too much time, too expensive or complicated. None of which could be farther from the truth.

Heck, all it takes is your management team, a hotel conference room, coffee and lunch to hold an offsite. As for it being complicated, simply focus on where the company needs to be at the end of the year and how to get there. Document your discussion and you’ve got the makings of a plan. And when has building a path to success ever been a waste of time?

I’ll write more on this topic during January and share with you some key insights that may convince you to use this incredible tool to grow your business.
