While birthdays are celebrated differently all over the world, a common thread is that they are often marked with a celebration or a rite of passage. In the spirit of birthdays, we are proud to announce that Barrett turned 15 this January.
Our 15th year sees the launch of The VIS ACE Barrett Business Education Scholarship Program. As part of our ongoing sponsorship of the Victorian Institute of Sport, we have developed a business program designed to offer nominated VIS athletes the opportunity to learn how to create a viable business and sales strategy. They will also apply the tools necessary for sales and business success in their own start-ups or as part of their future plans in life after sport. We look forward to reporting back to you on the program throughout 2010.
This 15 year milestone has also involved significant reflection on a personal and business level, as well as nostalgic recollections of many lessons learnt and moments in time. To mark each year in business, we would like to share 15 important lessons we have learnt:
- The value of values
- Leadership and humility
- Strategic planning
- Pick your counsel wisely
- Managing setbacks
- Teachable and transferable
- Trust, faith and courage
- Passion
- Self-mastery rather than success
- Well-being and time to reflect
- The principle of exchange
- Worthiness
- Creativity and innovation
- Theories and the tool box
- Build a reputation
We invite you to meet with us to reflect on your years in business, the lessons learnt, and what your plans are for 2010 and beyond. To set up a meeting contact us or call us on 03 9532 7677. If you know someone who may also benefit from meeting with us please pass this invitation on.
Register for your meeting and immediately receive the Barrett 15 Lessons Learnt eBook offering helpful insights and reflections for your business.
And finally, thank you to the many people, clients, suppliers, colleagues, and friends who have supported, encouraged, challenged, and trusted us to partner with you on your respective journeys. We look forward to doing so again with renewed commitment, as always, in 2010 and beyond.
All the very best
The Barrett Team
