A Business Enhancement Toolkit; Four Tools, Many Uses.

Quite deliberately, I have never put myself in a situation where the most viable solution is to drink my own urine. I do wonder if Bear Grylls has ever questioned his life choices…??

Regardless, Grylls can survive under any conditions, because he is never without his trusty backpack of tools; knives, paracord, GPS, water, flint, instant shelter, first aid. All have multiple uses - a knife can make shelter and fire, collect water, and hunt food.?

Fortunately in business it’s unlikely you’ll be asked to consume your own bodily fluids.

And if you are, frakly, I’d be asking for a contract review.? But if you want to grow your business you will need to do some things that are deeply uncomfortable.?

There’s a misconception that business growth is best achieved by sales alone. A smarter approach is to get your business into shape so you can find the right opportunities, bid for them, win them, and execute well so you keep them. That requires deep examination of your capability, which can be challenging. Much like eating a live scorpion.?

Once done, however, you can achieve real, sustainable growth. Grylls doesn’t just survive, he thrives. Because he has the right skills, experience, and his trusty set of flexible tools.?
