  Date: 01/10/2016 On the October 2016 edition of Business Essentials, we start with Professor Neville Norman’s assessment of the economy as he laments the lack of confidence he’s seeing around the country right now - the lowest he can remember for a long time. What can business people learn from either an alpine climber or a jet fighter pilot? Plenty! This month we speak with Patrick Hollingworth who compares the unpredictable and dangerous pastime of mountain climbing with running a business. And, we hear from former fighter pilot and now business coach and author, Christian Boucousis, on how companies can learn to make faster and clearer decisions, the ‘fighter pilot’ way. As Asian countries continue to open up economically, we speak with expert Campbell MacKintosh on the myths of doing business in the region. And if – like half a million other Australian business owners – you’re looking to exit in the next 10 years or so, Kerry Boulton gives pointed tips on how to get top dollar from selling up. We continue the innovation theme this month by inviting on the program futurist Craig Rispin, who advises some of Australia’s largest organisations on the latest technological trends. Regular tax guru Michael Jones discusses the new definition of small business, plus the latest announcements on superannuation policy. Elio D’Amato looks at income stocks as an alternative to growth stocks. And we finish this month’s line-up with Corrinne Armour and her championing of human potential in business. |
