Do It! or Ditch It

"Every successful achievement in life begins with a positive thought and a conscious decision"

Entrepreneur and businesswoman Bev James uses coaching and profiling principles to inspire people to be single-minded, learn how to plan, prioritise, delegate and take action to get things done and get them done well in work and in life.

To be successful you must have a passion for action and belief in your idea. You must recognise the right opportunity and take appropriate action to ensure follow through and drive the project to completion. But how do you decide which idea to run with and which action should become your top priority?

In eight simple steps, Bev's down-to-earth Do It or Ditch It approach teaches you how to make clear decisions from the outset so that at every step along the way, you will be more likely to succeed.
