The Aji Network
5
I am the leader of the financial planning and analysis organization for a global logistics solutions provider, a CPA with 14 years of diversified experience in finance and accounting. I have a passion for connecting my financial expertise with business partner visions in order to develop strategic plans, analyze tactics, and produce measurement systems that enable businesses to position themselves competitively and improve financial results.
I have always been very focused on achievement in my career. My financial and business acumen, combined with my leadership abilities and a sheer willingness to work hard fueled my early, rapid career progression. However, as I entered the manager ranks I began to notice that these alone were not going to enable me to produce and sustain the executive level career I am after. I began observing leaders, and in particular, noticed two specific executives with valued identities in a Fortune 100 organization who moved with uncommon business philosophies and ethics to produce superior results for their organizations. Learning that they were both students with the Aji Network, I couldn't wait to know more.
My decision to begin accepting the Aji Network's offers was not one I took lightly. The financial costs as well as the time commitment and focus required were substantial; I had initial apprehension about my capacity to make this commitment. However, with Toby Hecht's personal success as a business owner for over thirty years and the Aji Network's consistent reputation over twenty years for producing financial returns for its students far superior to any MBA program, I was compelled to give it serious consideration.
As I began learning about their philosophies, high ethics, strategies, and range of powerful offers inside the discourse Mr. Hecht created, right away I was introduced to a new orientation for producing not only a successful career, but even more so, what struck me was the emphasis on first producing a clear interpretation for myself about what it means to live a good and satisfying LIFE. Then next, they helped me learn about the importance of superior strategies for producing the roles I need to hold in my career that will obtain the financial outcomes and autonomy necessary to coherently and consistently take care of all of my concerns for living a good life. As the Aji Network is not for everyone, as is by design, Greg Scharnagl, the VP of Operations and with the network for 15 years, took great care in helping me locate where I was in my career and in assessing if my own capabilities were sufficient for producing the career I was after, or where I had gaps With their reputation and through the care they provided me through individual coaching, I acquired a high level of trust in the Aji Network and a frightening realization of how much help I needed.
I've been a student with the Aji Network for three years now, and they have not disappointed. Rather, I am continually amazed by the strategies and practices they teach, and how it continually produces new thinking and capacity for me to act to produce my career and lifestyle ambitions. In the foundational 2-year Business Professionals Course (BPC) I developed a background of uncommon offers, practices, narratives, and strategies which I have been using to produce superior interpretations of the marketplace and my customer's concerns. I used this background to design and fulfill new, superior offers for my company, which quickly enabled me to begin increasing my own reputation of superior trust and value within the organization based on these highly valued accomplishments. I get questions recurrently from executives who are noticing that I stand out with my actions, they want to know how I am able to do what I am doing.
Now one year into the LEIP program, an ongoing opportunity for the most serious business students (Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and accumulation of Power), I am continually being presented with new thinking and strategies for accumulating power in my career and producing the income and autonomy necessary to help take care of my family. And, my opportunity to think and learn is significantly enhanced by the value of engaging conversation and design with a powerful network of accomplished professionals -- CEO's, owners/entrepreneurs, executives and managers across a range of diverse industry and trade. Without question, I have greater commitment, direction and focus now for the actions I need to be in to produce my ambition because of the superior help I have received from the Aji Network.
If your ambition requires you to significantly improve the value of your offers in the marketplace to a degree substantially above what is common, you are committed to this ambition, and you know you need help, I highly recommend you check out the offers by The Aji Network. (www.theajinetwork.com). In addition to its offer for beginners of the BPC, there are numerous papers and talks available on their visitors page to introduce you to their philosophies and strategies, and help you produce an assessment for yourself about your ambition and your gaps. Additionally, The Aji SPAcE (www.theajispace.com) is a powerful new and uncommon tool for accumulating uncommon knowledge and power with papers, talks, and projects that you can explore to produce new thinking and action (free trial). If not this, I ask you, what are you doing to fulfill your career ambitions?
