WHY THE BUSINESS GYM?
more Money, (extraordinary results), more Time (balance and effectives) and more Fun (lifestyle) |
If
you are a small business owner, please consider these statements:
1.
Most businesses die before maturity. Some of the reasons include:
– Not making enough money
– Not having time to work on the business nor to live life
– Not having fun in the business anymore
2. It is easier to start a business than to establish a profitable one
–
Starting a business requires different skills than growing
and establishing it
–Delivering and developing profitable value requires a structure for fulfillment
3. Business fitness
cannot be achieved in one day
– Fitness requires regular conditioning
– Fitness requires commitment
If
you are an executive in a large organization, please consider
this statement:
The
processes, procedures, and systems that allowed the
organization to grow sometimes become the bureaucracies
that lead the organization to its
demise.
– Business is a living
and dynamic organism that needs to constantly change, adapt, and grow.
– Organizations often grow bigger than their core added value, holding onto the old structures that no longer serve its members.
–Over time, large businesses tend to focus on deficiencies and view the organization as a massive problem to be solved.
Whether you are a small business owner or an executive in a larger organization, you are constantly facing greater odds of not surviving or succeeding as time elapses.
To increase your odds of survival and success, you
can start by avoiding the most common mistakes that
small business owners and executives routinely
make:
- You don't have a
clear vision for your business or business unit.
- You are a control
freak, missing the benefits of a dream team.
- You lack a consistent
sales or results system.
- Your marketing plan
for your business or department doesn't exist yet or is
not working.
- You are buried working
IN the business and have no time to develop and work ON
the business.
- Your business or
organization makes money, but you are not profitable.
- Over time, customers
(including internal departments) lose the WOW experience
in working with you and your team.
- The business or
job stresses are costing you your life, and you're not having
fun anymore.
Can you relate to any of that ? |
