TIME MANAGEMENT - Rapid Planning Method

Anthony Robbins

You can't manage your time if you don't have a plan for your life.

The RPM Life Planner™ System Software is a mind revolution: it transforms your massive demands and responsibilities into the exciting realization that you can accomplish something truly meaningful. It helps you to focus and define your life by making you ask yourself new questions. Once you know the results you are after, how to achieve them becomes immediately clear.

Anthony Robbins' RPM Life Planner™ Life Management System Software is unlike any scheduling software you might have seen before. Not only does it give you many of the functions you expect from scheduling software, it gives you functions you would only expect from a sophisticated project-planning system.

Here's what the RPM Life Planner™ can help you do:

·         Turn any idea into reality through a simple planning process

·         Replace your "to-do" list with a daily plan that maximizes your time and guarantees your accomplishment

·         Enter all your action items once, and let your computer copy them over into different schedules

·         Integrate the planning and the scheduling of personal and professional long-term and short-term projects

·         Create a compelling vision for the areas of life that matter most to you

…and much, much more.

Marketing Management - Millenium Edition

Philip Kotler

...Where as marketing channels connect the marketer to the target buyers, the supply chain describes a longer channel stretching from raw materials to components to final products that are carried to final buyers. For example, the supply chain for women´s purses starts with hides, tanning operations, cutting operations, manufacturing, and the marketing channels that bring products to customers. This supply chain represents a value delivery system. Each company captures only a certain percentage of the total value generated by the supply chain. When a company acquires competitors or moves upstream or downstream, its aim is to capture a higher percentage of supply chain value.
