“Business people, often without realising it, develop habits and routines that may be preventing their businesses from moving forward. Developing the correct Mindset is critical for growth and progress in any business,” says business coach Mike Stander.
This can be difficult when we are constantly being bombarded by media hype on recession and how bad everything is. This relentless attack on the mind results in the misconception that independent pharmacy is struggling for survival.
In reaction to this, many business owners resort to slashing prices, staffing and advertising budgets to appear more competitive.
This is especially true for independent pharmacists, reputed to be one of the loneliest professions in the world, as they have no larger network or corporate infrastructure to turn to for support.
A first for pharmacy, the MindsSuccess course is pharmacy specific, and steers away from negative thinking fuelled by the media, by identifying opportunities and strategies to grow and improve business rapidly.
MindsSuccess have to date held eight highly successful workshops around the country, and attendees are already seeing growth by implementing the positive changes taught, in their pharmacies.
“I found the Growth Workshop of great value. It focused on motivation, the power of the mind and practical financial and business aspects that could be used successfully in the current environment to generate business success and profit,” said Gary of Gary Kohn Pharmacy.
During an exhilarating day of networking pharmacists learn invaluable business lessons while interacting with others in a similar position.
The workshops are conducted primarily by pharmacy experts Mike Stander and Al van Buuren, with appearances by Damian Stander.
The MindsSuccess team combine their various talents and tireless research to develop a programme that rekindles the passion that many have lost for their businesses.
Besides teaching attendees how to make positive changes, the three presenters deliver practical, tools, ideas and new ways to improve mindset and beliefs, as well as staffing, publicity, store layout, advertising and, ultimately, profitability.
“With these tools, you could easily double your profits”, says retail specialist, Al, “And with most pharmacies averaging less than 3% nett profit, this could have a huge impact on your business.”
Attendees at the previous MindsSuccess Growth courses have been captivated by the unique video content of the course and follow the speakers closely in the workbooks provided, taking notes so as not to miss anything important.
Feedback from the previous growth workshops has been positive and upbeat, and there is a definite sense of excitement and enthusiasm to go back and use the ideas that have been learned.
Brenda of Hermanus Pharmacy said she found the seminar very stimulating. “The business presentation was excellent and very hands on. A Saturday well spent! I would like my key staff to attend.”
Minds Success has enjoyed the company of repeat visitors who attended earlier growth workshops and who were first in line to book when the new course dates were released.
One of the repeat visitors is Caroline Mashishi from Molepo Pharmacy.
Caroline speaks highly of the course: “Through the MindsSuccess Growth Workshops I was able to identify a unique selling proposition for my store, which is herbal meds, ideal for a pharmacy in a rural area! They are selling like hot cakes! Thank you for this course. MindsSuccess, you rock!”
The course leaders have a sincere desire to help pharmacies not only survive, but take their business to new heights through a complete suite of business growth resources and support.
Judging from the energised testimonials from those who have attended the Pharmacy Growth workshops, the MindsSuccess coaches are indeed fulfilling their purpose.
