Pssst...There is No Secret to Business Success
Any of the dozens of business strategy books on the market today expound on their “secrets” to surviving in today's fast-paced and highly competitive market. One man is brave enough to stand up and say, "There is no secret!" Carlos Dias, a Florida-based multinational and multilingual consultant shares his thoughts and ideas freely, claiming that what's really needed is divergently strategic thinking, not cookie-cutter or business-as-usual approaches. Someone else's strategies are already outdated by the time you hear about them. "Use the force" could easily be Dias' tagline...
Coral Gables, FL (PRWEB) May 20, 2005 -- The business world today is awash
with uncertainty. Increased competitive pressures and the rapidly changing
market place makes long-term planning difficult, if not possible for many
companies. Consequently, most companies turn to cost-cutting as their primary
means of improving the bottom line.
Carlos Dias, a Florida-based
international management and business consultant hopes to change all that, one
business at a time. "Only one out of ten businesses understand how to create
wealth for their business," he says. Dias admits that a large part of his job
involves educating his clients about what really makes business work in our
dynamic and chaotic business climate. He admonishes those who look for a quick
fix, magic bullet, or special secret to success. "There isn’t any secret," he
says. "Businesses have to learn how to think and act not just strategically, but
strategic in a way that clearly sets them apart from their
competition."
While there isn't a secret, there is a methodology and
system that can be learned by anyone. On his newly revamped web site (http://www.carlosdias.com),
Dias emphasizes education over sales. "I've got to walk my talk," Dias adds.
"Therefore, I made my new web site highly informational in nature. I've provided
informative (some may say 'long') web copy, articles and a free electronic book
that explains in detail how a business can think and act
strategically."
Perhaps the days of the old consulting model are finally
over. Rather than tell his clients what they should do, he walks them through a
divergent strategic thinking process in which they use their knowledge, skills,
talents and experience to develop a living strategy. Dias says that he wants not
only to teach his clients how to fish, he wants to give them the tools to find
the best fishing holes with the biggest fish – not once, but repeatedly as the
market changes.
Does he provide too much information on his web site?
"No, I don't believe so," Dias explains. "Having well-educated clients who
understand that they must continuously create uniquely perceived value in their
market are the best people to work with. I love what I do, and I especially
enjoy working with others who are as excited as I am about long-term wealth
creation."
It seems appropriate that Dias' new web site is released in
conjunction with Star Wars Episode III. To defeat the dark side of stagnation or
business-as-usual, Dias educates his clients on "using the force"; that is, the
knowledge and experience that already exists within their organization. To win,
they must think strategically, and divergently.
