Well, that's the end of my Introduction to APT Module. I hope it was of some value to you. And I hope I was able to deliver it to you effectively.

As you may well imagine, it has taken me a reasonable amount of time and effort to produce this module.

Another freebee

For a long time I have been an admirer of Michael Gerber and his wonderful book 'The E-Myth'. I have often said to people "if you only were to read one business book, make it the E-myth". In my opinion 'The E-Myth' philosophy fits very comfortably with the APT systems approach to business planning.

If you click on this link, I will give details of how you can get an excellent 8-page summary of this book free!

Where to next . . .

Using APT on your ideas/goals

Based on the information you have learned from this Introduction Module, you may wish to try out the principles on an idea of your own. 

A tip

To begin with, pick a very simple project to work with. Planning a holiday or dinner party are a good examples. Learn to crawl a new way before you try to think and walk a new way. 

Difficult projects

As mentioned at the beginning, this module is just an introduction. For speed and simplicity, I have quickly passed over processes that need more detailed explanations to be fully practical. The APT Process is relatively simple. When you learn the practical procedures it becomes relatively easy. Let me explain how I plan to deliver on this. 

My next steps

Over the next few months I will be developing and publishing some practical follow-up modules. I will have details of these available in a few weeks. Below is a link to my live APT Public Seminar website. My goal is to make all of the material, benefits and the follow-up service mentioned in this section available to anyone via the Internet.

Much as it would be nice to make this material and support service available free, I do need to eat and pay my way in this world. So I'll be looking to make a small charge for subsequent modules. 

Like to be kept informed . . .

If you would like to be kept informed (but not pestered) on my development progress, click on this link and send me a blank email. updateplease@apt.co.nz  You have my promise that your e-mail address will not be sold or passed on to anyone else. And I'll only e-mail you when I've got something meaningful to report. 

My existing services 

If you live in New Zealand (or are visiting our fine shores), I conduct one-day seminar workshops on APT. For more information, there is a link at the bottom of this page.

APT Software

You may also like to click on the link that describes the APT software program that has been designed for this method of planning. 

Potential partners

I'm also developing a strategy to have other people present the APT program and/or offer APT plan facilitation services. While web based learning suits some, others will have a preference for live sessions. If you have an interest in being an APT facilitator, send me an e-mail and tell me a little about yourself and your situation: potential-partners@apt.co.nz
