New
Resource - A Business
Development Program for THIS Economic Crisis - Especially Suited for
Small Firma
In these troubled times,
many landscape architectural firms have moved from growth strategies to
survival strategies. Dwindling resources in the public and private
sectors have limited available projects. This has caused many firms to
tighten their belts, stop discretionary spending, and conduct painful
layoffs of valuable staff.
A vast
majority of ASLA members are people who own small firms. These
individuals, who were already conducting business on a shoe string,
have personally and profoundly felt the crunch. That’s who
this new resource is designed to help. This Business Development
Program is like a toolkit that gives you everything you need to
survive…and to move on from surviving to actually growing
your business.
The
Truby’s have created this program especially for the
thousands of small Landscape Architectural firms who need help, but
don’t have the time or money to get it. Not only do the
Truby’s understand the A/E world and the specific issues
small firms face, they also understand the economic overlay to the
already stressful life of managing a small firm.
Small firms
have limited resources. This Business Development Program is designed
to address this issue. It's risk free, easy to implement, and takes
very little time and money. It’s a modular program
that’s implemented in “bite-sized” chunks
so it doesn’t take much time. Your first 30 days of membership costs only $1.00, then the fee to continue membership is discounted for ASLA
members to cost only less than $10.00 a month.
And remember, this program is now a part of the Achievement Club where you'll be able to view short video trainings on a variety of personal, relationship and business topics.
Where
does this program come from?
This new resource is
really not “new” at all – for two
reasons. First, this program is based on five natural laws, the
“Laws of Achievement” that are embedded in the very
fabric of nature and our existence. They govern the success of any
“achievement” both personally and professionally.
Second, the Truby’s have created business tools to implement
these laws which they have been using in real-world scenarios for close
to 30 years.
“We’re
NOT just teaching theory,” says Joann Truby,
“we’ve been fine-tuning these tools for many years,
and many firms have seen their benefits in increased productivity,
profitability, and morale – while lessening stress, and the
drain on time, energy and resources.”
Bill Truby
said, “In addition to implementing these laws and tools in
large and small firms around the country, we’ve been hired to
manage the ‘people and process’ part of large
environmental projects. The program and the tools worked –
every time!”
What
others
have said about the program…
“The
"Door to a Thriving Business Program gives a solid process full of
information, concepts, and implementation tools that I really believe
are of more practical value than my MBA.”

R. Dunbar FASLA, Past President ASLA
Executive
Director, Center for Resilient Cities, Madison, WI
"My
experience with your leadership training and successful business
training has been wonderful. Your techniques are very
valuable, yet easy to apply and use…Your programs offer this
advice in practical, bite-sized portions! I'd recommend this
program to just about anyone who thinks there is room for improvement
in their workplace or organization."

“…there
are books out there that you could get similar information from. But I
would argue that 99.9% of books that are 120 pages long can be told in
about 20 pages. The rest of it is all filler. I
think what you are presenting is more to the point and shows people HOW
TO implement the steps needed to take to get ACTUAL RESULTS. Most books
never explain in detail the "how to" process. The sad thing is that I
didn't take nor was i required to take any classes in school that even
grazed the topics that you are talking about in these
modules.”

Lansing – recently graduated Landscape Architect
“With
early signs of simple improvement, we are excited at the potential for
even greater levels of achievement as we work through the remaining
modules of “The Door to a Thriving Business”
program. While change won’t be easy or overnight, we do
believe that it is achievable and that we can improve the performance
of our team thanks to the tools you’ve presented. We look
forward to continued improvement and dialogue with you and Joann
throughout this journey.”
