ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

To Peter Thomson and all his team for their help, support and inspiration that gave me the confidence to share my ideas in this book.

FOREWORD

Goals and targets and plans and visions and missions and…

The list goes on and on.

But how the heck do I get the ‘stuff’ done that gets the ‘stuff’ done?

That is the question. And one that’s puzzled and frustrated and balded many a budding entrepreneur or even experienced achiever.

Now, at last, here’s Gill Smith and her simply brilliant (and brilliantly simple) GALAHAD process.

It works. I know, I’ve used it. It’s simple (not always easy of course) and it works.

Clear direction achieved. Actions noted. Progress recorded. Happiness – at last.

If you’ve ever struggled to set goals that mean something to you (personal or business). If you’ve wandered off track (hasn’t everyone?). If you’ve even given up and later regretted that decision…

Now you have the answers in the palm of your hand.

This book should be supplied to every student, every business bank account opener, every manager, every leader and certainly every coach or consultant.

Please, I urge you – take this opportunity to learn and apply Gill’s wisdom. For that’s what it is. Not merely information or instruction, but pure distilled wisdom.

I am so glad I did.

CHAPTER 1

My Lightbulb Moment

And then, I suddenly realised what was missing in the process…

As a trainer, I find that it is very easy, too easy, to make assumptions about people’s ability to actually get things done.

When the The Business Kitchen started in 2014, we created a membership called The Main Course, offering face-to-face group training. A key part of each session was creating
