The more you eliminate the inefficient use of information, the better it is for productivity
Do you realize that the single biggest killer of your productivity is information overload?
Critically, this happens with the online courses you rely upon for improving your skill sets and ability.
But unfortunately it ends up not adding either skills or ability to you.
This post is about a turnkey solution to your productivity and information overload woes.
I will lay out a case for courses which will banish information overload forever.
Courses which will sky rocket your productivity.
And build skills, knowledge and ability in you.
How about that?
This blog post is about how you can go about building skills, knowledge and ability in you.
Without information overload - your biggest productivity killer.
This blog post will cover:
Productivity Killer - information overload
Productivity Killers
As a hotel manager you have your work cut out for you running a busy operation.
Your hotel for the most part is running high occupancy levels.
Your 24 hour day seems ridiculously short.
Meeting and exceeding customer expectations levels all the time is a challenge from all angles.
However, it affects productivity the most.
You have to battle the biggest productivity killer of them all.
Information overload!
Everywhere, you have too much of information that is available.
We live in an age where the challenge is topsy turvy.
Instead of focusing on which information to choose, you are bent on juggling which information to leave out!
All because of this greatest of productivity killers - information overload!
Online courses you enroll in for improving your skill sets aggravate the situation even more.
They stuff you with more information in their courses.
They call that knowledge.
You spend all that time going through the long winded courses.
Which are eating into your hectic daily work schedule.
In short, they are productivity killers!
You are scrambling from pillar to post to meet deadlines, and achieve targets.
And try to learn and build skill sets as a manager.
Moreover, after doing the course, you are left wondering what skills you acquired.
Did your ability get better?
Just more information is not going to achieve that!
Unfortunately, most online courses are structured that way.
You would prefer short, crisp courses that would improve your skill sets in one topic.
Say, you would acquire skills to budget and forecast for optimum business results.
And improve your ability to meet revenue and profit targets.
So, is there a way out of your frustration with these productivity killers?
I am glad you asked the question.
There is.
Enter Skills Academy courses.
Banish Productivity Killers
Skills Academy courses are tailored for busy hotel managers like you.
To prevent your productivity being killed.
To stop the information overload.
To turn you into a high achieving manager.
How you ask skeptically?
All in good time [pun intended].
What if you came across online courses which target one specific skill set?
How about if that skill set is taught to you in a way that you could apply it in your operation?
And if that application of learning enhanced your ability as a manager!
Finally, what if that skill set is taught to you in less than an hour?
You are already looking at me skeptically!
I must be talking about a pipe dream.
Something that is remotely not going to happen you think!
I am here to disillusion you a great deal.
Do you think you cannot acquire skill sets in less than an hour?
Think again….
Skills Academy will have you acquiring skill sets in less than a half hour!
How about that?
And not just that.
It will build skills, knowledge and ability in you.
That you can carry back to your hotel operation.
And make you a better and more successful manager.
How you ask in disbelief?
Let us see how.
Productivity with Specific Skill Sets
Skills Academy courses are not just about teaching knowledge.
Knowledge is tied in with specific skill sets.
For example, if the course talks about results based budgets and forecasts, at the end of course you will have acquired the skills to produce budgets that deliver results.
But that is not all.
Along with knowledge and skill sets, Skills Academy will enhance your ability as well.
If skill sets are about proficiency in a certain topic or area, ability will be the litmus test.
It will test whether you have learned how to apply the skill in a particular situation.
A typical problem situation you will commonly face in your operation.
In short, has your ability grown?
Other online course teach you knowledge.
Skills Academy courses build skills, knowledge and ability in you.
You will be a vastly better manager after taking our courses.
And now comes the icing on the cake.
Skills Academy will have you busting your productivity killers fast.
How is that you ask, perplexed?
By building skills, knowledge and ability in you in less than half hour.
What?
Yes!

It is unfortunate that all hotel financial courses are focused only on earning revenue. It is as if the job is done with generation of revenue.
But your hotel owners would beg to differ!
Hotel Owners are more focused on profit.
Or in other words, the bottom line.
That leaves you with the question to answer: how much of that revenue earned did you take to the bottom line or profit?
It is what your owners are expecting of you.
In this mini video course you will visually learn the powerful phenomenon that drives translation into profit.

One of the most common decisions to be taken by hotel managers on a daily basis is of making capital and revenue expenditure.
However, this decision is also one of the most confusing. Most hotel managers do not have a clear understanding of what is capital expenditure and what is revenue expenditure.
This confusion many times leads to decisions that put a dent in the hotel Income Statement.
This video course uses simple examples to show clearly how to distinguish between these two important items of expenditure. In the process, it avoids these dents to the Income Statement.
It is must learning for every hotel manager.
