Jeff Timpanaro, President of Oberata Consulting, will join a panel of national experts at Power ‘08, Winning In the New Economy on February 29th, 2008, in Ft. Myers, FL.  He has been slated as one of several key speakers at the event.  His topic will be LEVERAGE 101 - Time Training for the Next Generation. 

Power ‘08 - Winning In The New Economy is headed up by Eric Beck, founder of the Total Integration Executive Program.  The event is being hosted by the Southwest Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce, the largest organization of its type in the country. 

Hundreds of participants - mainly entrepreneurs and professionals - are expected to attend the event, which will deal with the critical issues facing business owners in the “new economy”.  The current economy, according to Beck, owes its troubles to greed.  ”We are so riddled with debt . . . it seems the age-old “buying & selling” model - one that has been largely founded on debt-spending, fear, and scarcity - is bringing a whole laundry list of undesirable consequences.”

And ideal economy, according to Beck, is based on “giving & receiving”; yet it will require a significant shift in concept, implementation, and sustainability.  “Everyone’s going to have to train,” says Beck, “because literally everything is being shaken, or will be shaken, very soon.”

Timpanaro said he feels privileged to be a part of this landmark event.

“Training is so essential, even at fundamental levels,” Timpanaro suggested.  “In order to embrace change, we’ve got to be trained to think and act strategically.”

It’s no secret.  Small business owners don’t generally like the human resources part of running their business.  They think of it as drudgery, as overwhelming; an endless stream of paperwork; an administrative scourge.  Filling out forms for withholding taxes, workman’s compensation, health  and life insurance, payroll, work schedules.  And then there’s filling in when employees are absent, hiring new people, firing the ones that don’t work out, dealing with unsavory issues like theft, making sure everybody understands OSHA laws.  And on and on it goes.  No fun at all; just a drain on time and money.

And yet, every small business owner has heard that you’re no better than your people; that every business succeeds or fails on the basis of its people.  Everybody knows this, but it’s tough putting the maxim into practice when you’re dealing with that “admin scourge”.   One thing you have to do, according to Jeff Timpanaro, is to take yourself, as the business owner, out of the day-to-day battle and look at the situation from the nearest hillside.  From there you get a view of the strategic issues that may be holding your business back.  Read the rest of this entry »

Eliminating Time Debt Training Event, March 20, 2007, in Kingwood offers overburdened business owners and executives a radical strategic approach to taking control of their working lives.

KINGWOOD, TX March 9, 2007 — With all the demands of modern-day business, leaders increasingly face the challenge of having too much to do, and not enough time to get it all done.
