From this understanding, and sheer desperation in the teeth of a pandemic-induced recession, came the SMACHT Operating System – six simple disciplines to drive your business and personal success:Strategy: The discipline of conscious choice and focus. Marketing: The discipline of attracting and retaining customers.

Attitude: The discipline of living the best version of yourself. Cash: The discipline of becoming financially free.

Human Beings: The discipline of attracting and retaining great people. Time: The discipline of living life to the full.
