Welcome Small Business Answer Man Listeners!
You are here because you heard our conversation with Gary Wilbers on the Small Business Answer Man Podcast. I hope you enjoyed the conversation as much as I did, and were able to get some clear take-aways to help you lead your business.
Leading a business at its core is building and leading systems that are simple and scalable. However, most business leaders are swimming in complexity in a misaligned business, causing them to feel like they're just scraping by, not achieving their big goals, and only putting out fires.
These leaders, maybe you, are stuck in the “tyranny of the urgent” - the multitude of problems and broken systems that lead to focusing on the now - as opposed to building and scaling.
The fact that you’re here shows that you’re ready for a shift.
The path to advancing your business is through the shift from dealing with symptoms to dealing with systems. That’s where the Five Facets of Business™ comes in to play. When you apply the elements of the framework to your business, you align the five major systems that make your business go: Culture, Strategy, Operations, Story (sales and marketing), and Finances. When these systems are aligned, the business scales and grows, and you go from putting out fires to crushing goals.
The system works for others, and it can work for you. Below are resources I mentioned on the podcast that can help you get started. Please use them as a simple launching point - the first step is often the hardest one. One thing is certain: not taking action to address the systems in your business will keep you right where you are, wondering what your business could be and wishing you had more time. The only way to change that is to take action.
