A Story of Business Demise
A business lacking sales and process is often destined for failure unless the owner does something fast to change its current path. No one knows this better than renowned Australian business strategist Michael Harrison.
A combination of bad decisions and the early 90s property crash led Michael to appoint a receiver to his Private Bank in 1990. His financial demise forced him to sell his $2 million family home, resign from his prestige Adelaide City Council position and three government boards.
Michael was 48 and totally broke! He had lost everything he'd built up until that moment.
Giving Up vs Implementing Four Simple Steps
At that stage Michael had two choices; one was to give up, the other to fight back. Less than one year later Michael Harrison was the author of one of Australia?s most acclaimed sales books, the Deputy Lord Mayor of Adelaide, and a sought after speaker and consultant.
He reclaimed his life with four simple steps, steps you can now learn from Michael's powerful business presentations to help you take charge of your business by increasing your profits.
