12 Steps to Success - You Don't Have To Do It All Yourself

Our 2012 Steps to Success programme continues with inspirational speaker

Jim Harvey

(often heard - seldom seen)

‘’…Almost all successful people surround themselves with people who can do things they can’t do and who know things they don’t know. Henry Ford was very poorly educated and has been described as ignorant, but built a team of brilliant people to turn his ideas into reality…’’

Building on this we’ll look at great teams in the world of music, sport, TV and business to explore some of the following issues-

Most business people rely on ‘virtual’ teams because 57% of UK GDP is generated by us small businesses. So how can we, as the driving force behind the SME’s, (that all politicians say are the lifeblood of our country, but none stoops to support) add wisdom, guile and breadth to our ‘inner circle’?

Jim Harvey Biography- Often heard, seldom seen

You'll probably never have heard of me, unless you've read an article, heard me speak or been on one on my courses. I've been busy running my own consulting and retail businesses since I was 25, and at this stage in my life (47 and knackered), I'm also an advisor to some great firms large and small.

I've been pitching products, ideas and services for my clients and myself and for 22 years. I've helped firms flog cars, consultancy services, insurance, irradiated food, intellectual property and a fantastic range of pretty much everything that you can imagine in modern commercial life.

I’ve taken 2 businesses from startup to sale, and still run 3 small businesses today.  My current clients include Capita, RSA Insurance,  JPMorgan, Mercer, RBS, Grifols International (Spain), Matrix Control Solutions, Vodafone, Brtivic, and many more.

I’m a speechwriter, marketer, trainer and father of 3 boys.  I live in Oundle, Northants, and I work all over Europe for my clients.  I love rugby, poetry and food. Preferably combined in some way. Blog- www.jim-harvey.com

This is part of our Steps to Success programme that includes discussions on our LinkedIn Group, support from other members of our multi-talented Inspired Group, MasterMind Groups or individual mentoring if you want it. Month by month you can build your blueprint for success but you only pay for the bits you actively opt into and will still get incredible value from the free bits!

Networking style

Rather than do sales pitches, we encourage participants to find out who they'd most like to meet from the attendance list and to get to know the people behind the businesses by discussing their views on the topic both face to face and on-line before and after the event. We actively encourage discussions on The Inspired Group on LinkedIn and on Twitter.

There is a display table for brochures and business cards.
