Git Er Done NOW with Effective Business Systems!
Do you know what happens when you give a procrastinator a good idea? Nothing! (Donald Gardener). Building a business with effective systems is one of those good ideas that you just can’t procrastinate. The cost is too high. So, promise me you won’t delay another day!
Years ago, I watched my father-in-law work on projects. He liked to build furniture. Every day he would go out to the garage and make a few saw cuts, sand a couple cabinet doors, or apply a coat of varnish to something. He spent little more than a half-hour, but at the end of a year, he had several beautiful pieces of furniture to add to his collection.
I’ve tried to follow his example by breaking down large tasks into smaller ones that I can chip away at every day. This strategy has helped me accomplish some formidable tasks, the Box Theory™ eCourse and Software being a recent example. It took nearly five years, but the persistence paid off.
Busy entrepreneurs like you can build effective business systems using this same productive strategy. At the end of the year, you will have an amazing collection of systems to show for it, and a business that shines!
My Question to You
Why would you want to put off creating systems that:
- Help you meet and exceed customer expectations.
- Elevate productivity, quality, safety, and cleanliness.
- Improve employee job satisfaction and worker motivation.
- Reduce training requirements and supervision.
- Allow non-expert lower-cost people to perform at higher levels.
- Dramatically improve profitability and cash flow.
- Help you stand out in a crowded marketplace.
- Reduce dependency on people who come and go.
- Free you from continuous hands-on involvement.
- Enable you to one-day sell, franchise, or hire someone to run your organization.
The benefits are just too many to ignore!
You’re Losing Money Every Day You Wait
While some system innovations can generate large financial returns, most improvements will add incrementally to your bottom line—the “compound effect” (Darren Hardy, Success Magazine).
Don’t suffer from procrastinitis—“a common and deadly disease that takes a heavy toll on success” (Wayne Gretsky, hockey great).
If you can’t work on your business systems in The Zone for an hour each day, do it for a half hour. BUT START NOW. Every day you wait is costing more money and good-will than you realize. I know you can do it!
Wishing You Prosperous Times,
Ron
P.S. – The first day, the first step, is the hardest. When you do it, give me a call! I love to celebrate victories!
