Do you need a RECHARGE?
Most people do. Even the most talented people get bogged down
every now and again.
The main cause of business failure is the failure to take action
because making the first move can be hard! But you can start
now…by reading this book!
Recharge will revitalise your entire approach to
business. Each of the 52 performance-enhancing lessons is designed
to be read, absorbed and acted on in 60 minutes or less: from your
management style to your financial decision-making to
self-motivation. Inside you’ll find jargon-free information that
will help you achieve many of the things you have been putting off
for months, or even years.
Written for entrepreneurs, small business owners, executives,
managers and employees, Recharge provides simple but
powerful tools to:
* Get you over a hump
* Get through an issue
* Get fired up
* Get into action!
