Find The Brand New You!

Today, mil­lions of peo­ple, busi­nesses, and orga­ni­za­tions are in transition

• Mid-life pro­fes­sion­als are flee­ing the cor­po­rate nests in droves for entre­pre­neur­ial independence …
• Thou­sands want to work in busi­nesses that con­nects with their per­sonal values …
• Busi­nesses and orga­ni­za­tions rav­aged by the reces­sion need to diversify…
• Young peo­ple are avoid­ing tra­di­tional cor­po­rate jobs, opt­ing instead for entrepreneurship …

What’s the com­mon thread?  REINVENTION.

Put sim­ply, REINVENTION is becom­ing some­thing or some­one you want to be, but cur­rently aren’t.

It requires using your imag­i­na­tion, embrac­ing change, and under­stand­ing how to man­age transition.

This may sound sim­ple, but it isn’t easy. It can be FRIGHTENING. But it’s also EXCITING and REWARDING.

It’s a new field and there isn’t any QUALITY train­ing for it out there.  Until now…

• No longer will you have to strug­gle ALONE in this transition.
• No longer will you have to make MISTAKES!
• No longer do you have to fear FAILURE!

My name is Tony Wan­less and I’m here to help.

If you “Google” me…you’ll see I’m mostly known as a pro­fes­sional writer and a cer­ti­fied man­age­ment consultant.

…but another thing you should know is that I have exten­sive expe­ri­ence and an incred­i­ble pas­sion for inno­va­tion and reinvention.

And I’ve put together a pro­gram to guide you in your reinvention.

You see, I’ve been rein­vent­ing my whole life. At var­i­ous times, I’ve been an immi­grant, an engi­neer­ing stu­dent, a street ven­dor, a tour guide of Amsterdam’s col­or­ful night life, a crime reporter, an art critic, a pub­lisher,  a teacher, a busi­ness jour­nal­ist, a hus­band and par­ent, a cre­ative think­ing and inno­va­tion consultant.

Over time, I learned the secrets to suc­cess­ful rein­ven­tion the hard way. As a man­age­ment con­sul­tant, I put them into a more for­mal context.

Until recently, I have been reluc­tant to share these techniques…

I’ve usu­ally applied them when help­ing my cor­po­rate clients. This is my bread and but­ter and I didn’t want to teach my process to other people.

But this all changed…I was at party with friends…several of whom had been recently down­sized and they all had a wide breadth of knowl­edge and con­tacts in the world, but could not find suit­able work.

If they did find jobs, they were usu­ally far dif­fer­ent from what they wanted to do, and often for pay that was way below their cur­rent level. If they started busi­nesses, they struggled.

All were ask­ing: WHAT’S NEXT?

As I started to hear more of these sto­ries, I started to share with them some of the strate­gies and tech­niques I used to help com­pa­nies make tran­si­tions or rein­vent themselves.

That’s when I started teach­ing entre­pre­neur­ial rein­ven­tion to individuals…

So far, I’ve been doing it as a blog, and in a newslet­ter. I’ve; mostly been help­ing friends and fam­ily and peo­ple or busi­nesses they refer to me.  But as it became clear that many agents, con­sul­tants, coaches, and other inde­pen­dent entre­pre­neur­ial pro­fes­sion­als were seek­ing help, peo­ple started sug­gest­ing that I cre­ate an e-learning course to help with their transformation. So I’m writ­ing one.

I’m also going to start tele-consulting on the sub­ject. Actu­ally I already have, for peo­ple in Britain, Canada and the U.S.  But only when the con­tacted me and asked me.

So if you are inter­ested in one-on-one tele-consulting, we can work some­thing out. Just con­tact me at twanless-dot-knowpreneur.net

Cheers!
