Business Mastery Course

Raising The Bar

One of the biggest reasons that business owners struggle is because the owner is so busy working in the business; they don’t have time to lead their team.

They may want to raise the bar, but… they are stuck.

Leadership and managing people is the business constraint. 

Founders may not have the leadership and business management skills or training and very often simple don’t know what to do.

So where is the bar in your business?

Survival: The majority of businesses are in this category.

Think big, start small, create some profit, invest in people and systems, and repeat the process.

Setting a profit goal makes sense, it gives you confidence and stops worry.

It also gives you cash to invest in the business, making it possible to improve and grow.  

Breakthrough

Breakthroughs come with learning, planning, creating customer satisfaction, world class products and delivery, proven documented systems.

Is there another way?

There is always another way, change your mindset to the leadership belief that anything is possible. 

You only have to do 3 things.

  1. What to change?
  2. What to change to?
  3. How to create the change?

You can use this simple formula to achieve anything, from climbing Mount Everest to becoming a world class business.

How would you like your profits to look like this?

Is it possible to have profits of this magnitude? The answer is YES.  If you want it, you can have it.  Just answer the questions above and of course we can help you – that’s what we do.

How do you achieve profits like that? 

Operational Excellence.

If you can build a business that can outperform your competitors in every way, you would have created a business with an outstanding competitive advantage. 

How easy is Easy?

You begin to grow your operational performance by identifying the root causes of your current poor results.  There are normally only a few and once found can begin to transform your business, (Notice the green curve below).  Once you have implemented the changes that produce the greatest improvement, you can continuously improve all systems, one at a time. You can see the growth of the green curve slows down as your business dramatically improves.

As we have discovered the secret to success is in developing a world class team and leveraging the team members with outstanding processes.

That’s operational excellence at work.

How do you add real value to your business? 

There are three critical success factors:

Sales

High quality customers with growing sales

Profits

Sustainable and growing profits

Improvement

The Ever Flourishing Business – continuous improvement

1) High quality customers with growing sales

A business with raving fans that are loyal, give you repeat business and do your marketing for you by word of mouth are a great asset to the business.

2) Sustainable and growing profits

A business that constantly delivers sustainable profits year on year and gives a good return on investment has value.

3) The Ever Flourishing Business – continuous improvement

Creating a culture based on continuous improvement of satisfying customers.

Setting your goal

To build a business with value, that has a decisive, competitive edge and the capability to grow year on year in a big enough market, without taking any real risks.

Conditions of success

To achieve the three critical success factors you need to have necessary conditions in place, for example:

  • Effective sales
  • Effective marketing 
  • Consistent, predictable lead generation
  • A competitive edge
  • Excess production capacity
  • Top quality
  • Top customer service
