Bill Ringle Leads AskBillRingle.com Forum on Creating a Business Theme that Inspires

On January 5, 2012, AskBillRingle.com's open conference call for entrepreneurs and business owners addressed the subject "Creating a Business Theme that Inspires Your Staff and Customers."

Philadelphia, PA, January 08, 2012 - Nationally known speaker, author, and CEO coach Bill Ringle led this month's AskBillRingle.com forum, "Creating a Business Theme that Inspires Your Staff and Customers," on Thursday, January 5 at 4:00pm ET. To ensure maximum business growth in the new year, you need to hone a direction and make your business theme clear both to your staff and to customers. The January AskBillRingle.com conversation addressed this issue and allowed participants to step into the new year on the right foot.

The forum covered best practices for assessing the full scope of environmental trends, evaluating company strengths in light of the progress in the last year, aligning with values that matter to stakeholders, and enlisting the help of your teams to succeed further and faster. Ringle also shared key factors that are missing from most goal setting sessions.

"One of the reasons that New Years resolutions have such a dismal track record is that people typically set unrealistic timeframes for their goals and get discouraged and distracted quickly, abandoning important directions and objectives," says business growth strategist Bill Ringle. "With a theme-based approach, you have an ongoing mechanism, like a GPS inside your head, that helps you make choices and decisions hour by hour, day by day. One business client picked a theme of 'to $10 million and beyond' (a la Buzz Lightyear) and both he and his sales team used that throughout the day over the course of a year to exceed their revenue goal. Another client, inspired by Steve Jobs, selected a theme of 'the journey is the reward' and sought out international contracts so she could travel to new countries and enjoy the cultures as she did business. Themes, when applied properly, can be tremendously interesting and enjoyable to the individual as we ll as profitable to the business."

AskBillRingle.com gives business owners and entrepreneurs answers to their most pressing business growth questions. The website and accompanying conference calls, focusing on a different subject each month, will give business owners unprecedented access to Ringle's expertise, experience, and advice, as well as allow them to benefit from the shared exchanges with other business owners. February's topic, "Taking Care of Your Most Important Business Asset," will address important self-care techniques that will benefit both you and your business.

Bill Ringle works with entrepreneurs and CEOs who want to overcome the five big challenges to business growth so that they can run profitable and rewarding businesses rather than become stuck and overwhelmed in unfulfilling and draining roles. He has worked on four continents, is the author of four business books, and inspires and educates thousands of business leaders each year through his speaking, coaching, interactive programs, and educational products.
