Presenter
Think About This…. – Pavlo Phitidis
Pavlo Phitidis presented on Entrepreneurial Actions to beat tough times during the APSO 2012 Owner/Manager’s Conference. One slide stuck in my memory and the heading was Think About this.
Think About This…
Think About This… It’s Your Business and YOU are in Control
Think About This… The Future Ain’t What it Used to be
Think About This... Risk has multiplied; It’s No Longer Liner
Think About This…Every Business has Risk but Risk doesn’t kill every business!

10 Actions for Growth & Competitive Advantage – Paul Naidoo
I must say that I really enjoyed Paul Naido‘s presentation at the APSO2012 Owner/Manager’s Conference. One of his two presentations
was on “10 actions for growth and competitive advantage” Here are the 10 Actions
1. ME PTY LTD .. Get a designated accountability coach. Compete with yourself. Be better than yourself constantly.
2. Belief Systems .. Know your recession and work with your recession. Forget the worlds recession
3. Business Success Principles…what do you subscribe to. Choose what will never change. Only tactical approach will change
4. Information is Currency . Meanful information to stakeholders
5. Numbers Don’t Lie.. what will customers say about you
6. Goal Renewal …
7. Change … Initiate change . What has changed since we last met?
8. Networking … Who are your stakeholders. Network . Where is it happening? Where your stakeholders are be there.
9. Low Budget Marketing.. Look for as much free publicity as you can.
10. Attitude.. My Values (what do I value. I can lose the business today but never my customer) my actions. My Behaviour ( work on your ego.) find out why you got the business and why you didn’t get the business.

7 Deadly Business Sins – Michael Jackson
The Federation of African Professional Staffing Organisations (APSO) is committed to the upliftment and professionalisation of the labour recruitment industry in South Africa. APSO hosted their Owner/Manager’s Conference on the 13th of June at the Premier Hotel OR Tambo.
The other Michael Jackson was the MC and he also presented “The Challenge of Change”. Part of that presentation he pointed out what he terms the 7 Deadly modern business sins
Michael Jackson 7 Deadly modern business sins
1. Believing business has become justified and craving constant growth from unchanged products goods and services
2. Coveting image at all costs without regard to ethics people or the environment
3. Seeking to reduce every business cost possible with the sole objective of making profit
4. Allowing poor performances to persist and go unchallenged. These kill your brand
5. Laziness and indifference wrapped in complexity, policy and procedures
6. Resenting what your colleagues or competitors have ,that you perceive rightfully should be yours
7. Pride. The deadliest of business sins. Glorifying everything you perceive you have built and done
