About the conversation:

‘Your clear P.A.T.H. to Your Future success’

Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope

Leading Life and Business Planning Expert, Ron Overton will be presenting his 10 Minute Tip at The Business Growth Club Milton Keynes this Friday morning, 12th April at 7am.

Ron is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer for the charity Transitions UK which he set up to address the needs of what has been called a “lost generation” of young people. TransitionsUK was formed in the Autumn of 2014 and supports at least 120 young people every year by delivering over 40,000 hours of input, mentoring and support.

Ron will be introducing you to P.A.T.H. - a simple but powerful life and business planning tool.  P.A.T.H. will not only help you with planning for your business but also easily improve your life planning too. Ron will demonstrate very clearly how P.A.T.H. can help you individually and your Milton Keynes Small businesses achieve both your personal and your business goals.

P.A.T.H. was originally developed as a business planning tool before being adapted by Jack Pierpoint and used extensively with people with learning disabilities and other disadvantages to support their personal development and life aspirations.

About P.A.T.H. …… Ron is often quoted as saying ‘everyone should have one of these on your wall. P.A.T.H. will stop you driving yourself up your wall.

Ron’s 10 Minute Tip will be especially useful if you struggle with your personal planning and therefore find business planning difficult too.  P.A.T.H. helps to clarify your aims and objectives so it could literally transform your life and your business for the better. Ron has created a comprehensive handout with your practical framework which explains what thinking forwards and working backwards is all about.

We are all goal driven one way or another …. but sometimes we stray from our P.A.T.H. This is an excellent opportunity to get yourself focused again.
