Circle of Success

 


I'd like to share with you the Circle of Success for Entrepreneurs and Business Owners because you see, at the top of the circle in the diagram is YOU - the business owner, the business leader.

You know, when we got into the business we were so excited. We started building up our business and we were selling and we were talking to more people and we were just doing and we were doing and we were doing and doing it… And we just got exhausted, we ran out of time.

So what do we have to do? We have to go back and restart hiring employees to pick up the slack and to cover all the things that we just couldn't get to. We were just spending all of our time now in the business. We were dealing with our customers. We are trying to work with our team. We were trying to get them to do things right the first time, trying to get them to be problem solvers without having to come and ask us about every little thing.

What was really happening in our business is one really simple word to describe it. It's called chaos because we're spinning our wheels and not following this circle of success.

When we follow the circle of success, we start to begin to gain traction in our business.

See, it's our job as the owner or the business leader to support our team. We do that by providing them with a clear vision of where we want to take the company, what their roles and responsibilities are, and their function in the company, by providing them with proper training, by supporting the team through competitive pay and by providing them with benefits.

Now it is the team who supports our customers by providing them with our products and service the way our customers want to be problem solvers for our customers so we can help our customers achieve their goals.

It's the customers turn to support our business by buying, by paying their bills, by buying more products and services, by referring their friends, families, and business associates to us.
Now finally the business can support you… the business owner and business leader, so you can enjoy more life. That's why we got into business in the first place.

Our 6th President of the United States, John Quincy Adams once said, “If your actions inspire others to do more, to learn more, to become more, then you are a leader.”

These are very powerful words and notice that he said “dream”. He didn't say “dream or learn” or “do”. He used the word “and”. So another sign of really a good leader is one who can create leaders on their team.

For any business, this is the first step in creating a more valuable and saleable business.

Working in this circle of success, you will soon have a business that is working harder, so you don't have to and now you can enjoy more life.

If you would want to learn more about how you can implement this Circle of Success in your business, reach out to us. We'd like to have a conversation with you about how we can help you and help your business work harder so you don't have to.

Are Your Employees Keeping Up With Your Growth?

There is one challenge that I see that keeps popping up for organizations that hold them and their teams back from achieving more. Are your employees having a hard time keeping up with how rapidly your business is growing? If your team is struggling to handle the capacity of work that comes from scaling your business, I'm going to suggest to you a few strategies to help them to keep pace with your organizational growth. If you've noticed that projects seem to be falling through the cracks, the more work that your business has, this is a great thing for your business but not so good with the things that are falling through the cracks, right? I suggest to don't be too hard on your employees because maybe it might just be very hard and difficult to adjust to the growth of the heavier capacity of the work that they now have. Instead of cracking down on them, you need to focus on being heavy on accountability. If your employees are missing deadlines or aren't completing ...

Stop Fixing Your Business and Start Building it

Are you spending your day putting out fires that are popping out of nowhere? Are you always trying to fix something that’s not working in your business? Or, are you working on fire prevention enabling it to be more valuable and sellable down the road? Let me tell you what I mean... If you’re spending your day putting out fires, the fire itself is not the problem. If you find yourself always fixing your business, you haven't put the right structure in place.  You haven't put the right systems in place to be clear on what your ideal customer or employee is that will represent your brand and fit in and align with the culture of your organization. You might not even have a well-defined culture for your organization. There may not have an onboarding process for your team to make sure they are trained properly and show them your unique way of doing business.
