Title - Run your business like a machine Tags - businesssystems
You want your business to run like a well-oiled machine.
But even a rusty old machine is better than a business operated on random acts.
So start where you are.
Break the business into subsystems and look for opportunities to improve.
When you iron out the bottlenecks or dysfunctional processes, you can add profit to your business and get it running smoothly (and without the owner).
The 80/20 rules suggests that you should start by identifying the biggest problems and creating a better system so that aspect of the business performs better.
Work with your team members, involve them in the process or optimising or adding systems, and coach them on how to operate the most effectively and efficiently.
