a brief story on the lessons business leaders can learn from every day activities

1. What business leaders can learn from a Fitness DVD

2. At Nine Feet Tall,
we had a conversation
about sticking to
New Years resolutions,
that we want to share.

3. Every year people repeat the same mantra of:
“This year I will get fit”

4. Only to have given up less than two months in.

5. We are more focused at Nine Feet Tall,

6. which left us…

7. What can
business leaders learn
from FITNESS DVD’s?

8. which led us to conclude that……………

9. Having a dedicated
fitness partner helps
prevent even the biggest
barriers to change.

10. There are some jobs
that need an experts help,

12. Because… One-Size
Doesn’t Always… Fit All

13. and even businesses need HELP getting fit.

14. Experienced partners
bring the required
tools and know-how
to help you achieve
your goal.

16. IT IS ALL TOO COMMON
FOR BUSINESSES
TO TRY AND FIX
TOO MUCH AT ONCE

17. Change
Doesn’t
Happen
Over
Night.

18. Setting realistic goals with clear milestones will result in…

19. INCREASED FITNESS

20. and improved morale.

21. Getting through the initial pain barriers
to change can often be the first…
HURDLE

22. but small and
regular milestones
keep your
change programme
on track

23. Remember:
OLD HABITS
DIE HARD

24. MOVING NOT
ITS IMPORTANT TO KEEP
FORWARD BACKWARDS

25. All of this led us
to come up with
three
simple points:

26. 1. Find the right PARTNER…
because some change requires expert help

27. 2. Set Realistic GOALS
because it’s not always possible to fix something that’s broken

28. 3. Reach your goal and immediately set ANOTHER
because it’s important to consistently be moving forward

29. Nine Feet Tall
