Peter Loadman and Germaine Smith
If you’re running a business or a social enterprise, you probably have a number of goals and objectives you want to achieve in the year ahead.
And just like with New Year resolutions – which only 8% of people manage to keep – business goals can be vague and hopeful, or concrete with a carefully planned strategy to help to achieve them.
On today’s Business Live radio show I was joined in the studio by coach and management consultant Peter Loadman to talk about the process of setting and achieving objectives – in your life and your business.
Peter covered defining (and re-defining) your values and vision, assembling the tools to achieve your objectives, focus and implementation.
My other guest today was Germaine Smith, owner of Sheffield based Juice to U, now riding a wave of celebrity endorsements and selling healthy juices in their thousands after founding her business with a £20 domestic juicer in her kitchen.
Germaine’s overcome dyslexia, a previous business collapse leaving her £80,000 in debt (all of which she’s now paid off) and the challenges of being a single parent – and she’s now running a business valued at several million pounds by a want-to-be investor (whom she turned down).
