 How do I wish my life to be on a day-to-
day basis?
 How would I like to be with other people in
my life-my family, my friends, my business
associates, my customers, my employees,
my community?
 How would I like people to think of me?
 What would I like to be doing 2, 5, 10 years
from now? When my life comes to a close?
 How much money will I need to do the things
I wish to do? When will I need it?
A list of standards
1. Money Standard
2. An Opportunity Worth Pursuing?
3. When will prototype be ready?
- Where is the business going to be - local,
regional, national, international?
- How are you going to do business – Retail,
Wholesale, both?
- What are your standards regarding:
reporting, cleanliness, clothing, etc.?
 Determine what has to be done…then decide
who is going to do it.
 You fill the roll until you can “franchise” that
role for someone else to do just like you did
it.
Getting everyone in the same role to perform
the same task at the same level time after
time.
 Increases predictability for you.
 Increases predictability for your customer.
 Allows measurability.
 Explain WHY.
 Teach your employees.
 Create a “Game” with:
- Clearly defined structure (rules)
- Structure through which employees can test
themselves.
 WHAT DOES YOUR CUSTOMER
WANT?
 Don’t presume that you know what the
customer wants.
Learn your customer demographics
Psychographics
 Develop a Selling System that focuses on
customer needs and is the same every time.
 Develop information systems that collect data
to allow measurements against benchmarks.
 Your business is a tool.
 Use your business to create the life you
want.
Systems are not bad.
 They create value for the customer.
 They provide structure for your employees.
 They let the business be the product rather
than you.
 By do those things, the business is more
valuable to you and most of all to a buyer!
 Does every business do this?
 No!
 Do all successful businesses do this?
 No!
 Should all businesses do this?
 Yes!
 Does it matter if the business is a start-up or
a mature one or somewhere in between?
 No!
 Is this like a business plan?
 Yes
 99% of small businesses suffer from some of
the ailments in this book.
 YOU ARE FOREWARNED!
 If you come across one that is suffering, you
probably can’t change everything at
once…therefore, multiple engagements!
