Investing in your business with purposeFirst I must start by declaring I am a former university lecturer and learning addict. I love learning, anything will do history, NLP, learning styles and of course about property, photography and scuba diving.

The consequences mean that I can be a bit of a seminar junkie – get me in a room tell me about what I might learn and I will be there ….. It has cost me tens of thousands of pounds.

As all addicts eventually do, I recognised my problem and now I am in recovery and this is what I have learnt – I hope it helps you make better choices about your personal and professional development.

8 Top tips for getting the most from courses Identify your over all business goal Know what specifically is missing (the skills

gap) Do research on who might have the skills you

feel you are missing How current are their skills What will you learn (learning objectives) What way will you learn and is that your

preferred style How much will it cost How will you earn back your investment

Identify your overall business goal

Before you can decide what course, or which trainer you want to join you need to identify your personal objectives for the training

Look at your business What do you want to achieve, increased

income is often a primary or underlying goal Do you need more sales or more customers

Do you need to learn a specific technical or business skill Social media, sales, leadership

Know what specifically is missing

Identify the specific skills gaps under the broader heading of sales, strategy, marketing or leadership What specifically do you want to learn Why do you want to learn this – what outcome

do you expect – what will change in the business

Who needs to learn this – you or a team member

Do you actually need to learn this skill or could you “buy” in the knowledge

Do research on who might have the skills you feel you are missing

Having identified the broad area where you need development and then moved on to identify the specific skills now who can help

Start by identifying people that claim to be experts in the area you want to learn

How do you know they are expert – research them online it is so easy to search on Google

How current are their skillsIn your research look at the following

How current are their skills Do they belong to a professional organisation Is geography important, where they learnt or

apply their skills What do people say about them

Good things What criticisms are there

Are they still applying their knowledge in the current environment

How much will it costA critical stage in the buying decision is to consciously understand the cost

Is the purchase value for money How does it compare to other comparable

purchases Can you afford the purchase How will you benefit from purchase and what

impact will that have

Personally I have learnt that I can justify business development expenses as reasonable as long as I am clear on my objectives and know how I can earn back the cost of my investment

How will you earn back your investment

So how will you earn back your investment

Does the course give a money back guarantee and is that important to you?

What are you going to do with your new knowledge or skill?

How will the course increase your business income?

How long will it take you to earn the investment back?
