Dale's Previous Success Guests

Interviewed Wednesday, March 12, 2008

Author of: "Six Disciplines For Excellence" - Gary Harpst

Gary Harpst is the founder and CEO of Six Disciplines Corporation.

Gary started Six Disciplines in the fall of 2000, after spending almost a year talking with small business owners and other experts to research and explore ways to leverage the latest technologies to meet small business needs. As a result, Six Disciplines Corporation offers a complete execution-optimized excellence program for small and mid-sized businesses.

The Six Disciplines program enables organizations to establish core competency in six critical business disciplines related to strategy, planning, organization, management, measurement and learning. The Six Disciplines strategy execution program is offered exclusively through Six Disciplines Centers located in major cities across the U.S.

Six Disciplines is the result of thousands of hours of market research, 100 man-years of development and field testing, and more than $20 million of funding.

Gary's work as an author, keynote speaker, television and radio guest, has created nationwide interest in Six Disciplines. He is also the author of the highly-rated book Six Disciplines for Excellence: Building Small Businesses That Learn, Lead and Last, which offers specific details about the Six Disciplines business-building methodology.

Six Disciplines for Excellence received the 2007 USA Book News Best Books finalist award, and was rated the No. 1 business book for 2007 by The Center for Workplace Excellence. Six Disciplines for Excellence is also consistently ranked in the top ten books of the Organizational Learning category on Amazon.

Gary has also finished a new book, Execution Revolution: Solving The One Problem That Makes Solving All Other Problems Easier, scheduled to be published in April 2008. In Execution Revolution, Harpst details the elements of a complete strategy execution program, explains why it couldn't have happened until now, and clarifies why such a program will become a mainstream requirement for successful small and midsized businesses.

His strategies and information are being used by his clients all over the U.S. and Canada to take their ordinary business or profession and make it extraordinary. It is his up front, honest approach with his clients that is appreciated. People quickly become comfortable with Dan’s approach and especially the results they enjoy.

I'm excited about interviewing Dan because of his unique ability to see the flaws in advert sing with business and can show us ways to increase business not only during the goods times, but how to increase and grow your business during slow times.

Nationally Known Business Writer - Dan Furman

Entrepreneur Dan Furman is a self-employed business writer, marketing consultant, and author. His latest book "Start and Run a Real Home Based Business" is available at bookstores nationwide, as well as all the usual online outlets.

Dan's colorful work history spans a quarter century, is filled with all manner of interesting jobs, and contains quite a few firings as well (some rather spectacular.) Self employed several times (currently since 2001), Dan has realized both business success and failure, but has never wavered from the belief that he should be the one in charge of his professional life. He lives in NY with his wife Maryellen, and their pets (currently a dog, a cat, and a tank of fish that have lived a surprisingly long time.)
