Most small business owners start their businesses to gain control over their lives...
They start a business, so that they can be masters of their own destiny. But somewhere along the line the business takes over. The small business owner seems to work harder and longer than ever before.
Why most small businesses struggle
The biggest reason why small businesses seem to struggle isn't from lack of ideas, talent, or hard work for that matter. What they really need is to get advice Small business owners really need practical marketing and business advice, that can be implemented quickly and effectively.
But where do you go to get advice that can move your business forward?
Presenting the FREE Learning Rock Series
The Learning Rock is a series that helps small businesses cut through the clutter of hype and confusion. It's a no-nonsense educational series, that not only helps you put together tactics and strategies for your business, but also helps you meet other like-minded people just like you.

Ok, so how much does all of this cost?
Good question. It costs nothing. It's FREE. No charge. But there are only 40 seats available. So you've got to make sure you register. Once you register, before every event we will send you an email. Please look for the email, as you need to sign-up for each event.
So what's the catch?
There's got to be a catch somewhere, you think. But in fact, there's none.
You don't have to pay anything. You don't have to buy anything. There's certainly no upsell. Or any hidden factor. Nada. Nothing.
The reason we're doing the Learning Rock Series, is to give back to the business community. And there's a good reason why.
When we started out at Psychotactics in August 2002...
We struggled with our business for a while. Most of the information we got was either hypey; too impractical for a small business. And yes, there were business courses, but they were too theoretical. So yes, we struggled a fair bit at the start.
Our business took over our lives. We were afraid to go on vacation (you don't get paid on vacation--and you do spend money). We would work long hours. And often never take the weekends off. We loved our work (and still do), but realised there was a life to live. And enjoy.
Which is the reason for starting up with The Learning Rock. A place where Kiwis can learn hands-on, practical tactics and strategies every month. At no cost, whatsoever.
How do I know that it's not going to be a waste of my time?
You'll know that it's not a waste of your time by the credibility of the speaker. The Learning Rock events will be taught by Sean D'Souza. Sean is an internationally-known speaker, author and trainer.

Here's just what some participants have to say about Sean (and Psychotactics):
"I've been in the training business for 25 years, but I have never seen concepts as elegant as Psychotactics.
Simple is not the word for it. It's easy to follow and apply but extremely sophisticated. It's compelling, powerful and straightforward all at once. If you want to get in the brain of the customer and understand exactly why they do what they do, Psychotactics is exactly what you need."
-Diane Hendrickson, Silverdale
"Running into PsychoTactics is like running into abrasive sandpaper. It really scrapes away at your business soul. It gives your business the angles not yet explored. And it wipes away traditional thinking. And that's just for starters.
What I like about PsychoTactics, is that it forces me to think around corners
It goes beyond just thinking outside the box. It literally makes you
go around the corner, look what's likely to happen and prepare yourself
for that eventuality. It forces you to think beyond and then beyond
that beyond."
-Eugene Moreau, Auckland.
"I found your teachings to be truly inspirational. When I first
thought about attending the seminars I did wonder if it would be another
of 'those' courses. The ones that you attend, get a whole lot of information,
leave feeling inspired but for one reason or another nothing else
happens.
That is so not the case with your seminars. They were informative
but at the same time practical and I know that what I learnt from
you will stay with me whichever career path I choose to take. Thank
you so much for introducing me to a simple, step-by-step practical
approach method to marketing."
-Marina George, Auckland
"I went to the PsychoTactics Workshop and it totally changed
the way I looked at my business. The concepts were easy to implement
both for customers and for staff. And I'm glad I took the team members
on my staff as well, as they too started looking at the business in
a way they had never done before."
-Julia Doak, Bedpost Franchisee
