Are systems necessary in business?

Hi, I'm Brian Pombo. Welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Kind of a silly question if you've been involved in business at any point, especially managing running a business, starting a business owning a business. There's such importance to systems but I think one of my favorite new ways of describing it.

I found in this book and this isn't a book review, but I wanted to mention this one part. If I haven't before, there's one part in this book, the four disciplines to the excellence of execution by these three gentlemen here.

For one thing, very good book. And we'll get into that another time but I wanted to discuss this section, this is, this is gonna be probably the first chapter when they're discussing the whirlwind. And they talk about this throughout the book, but I love the term, the whirlwind. It's all one-word whirlwind.

Just listen to this part here, it's the real enemy of execution is your day job. We call it the whirlwind, it's the massive amount of energy that's necessary just to keep your operation going on a day-to-day basis.

Ironically, it's also the thing that makes it so hard to execute anything new, the whirlwind robs you the focus required to move your team forward.

So that and they go on to explain that it's a necessity, it's a thing that has to happen.

There are parts and old businesses that are ongoing and those ongoing pieces of any form of business, in the end, you will have different sectors throughout your entire business, no matter how large or small your business, there are sectors that have to have system attached to them.

They work rather mechanically, now, for your business to really grow and be a real living thing, they have to move beyond just the Cyst Symptoms, systems. But you need the systems, you need the systems to allow the room to be able to expand and move on and imagine and grow into new things.

Oftentimes business owners and anybody that's managing a business will put too much pressure on employees, and the other people involved in the business, to not only do what they're currently doing, but also to do more of things that they are new, and to constantly be adding new things without having enough structure. To make the old things predictable.

There are certain parts that have to keep moving no matter what in all businesses, as long as you're bringing in money, there are pieces that have to keep moving, and obviously the most that you could pull humans out of that equation.

So whether you have actual physical mechanics, or software, virtual mechanics, that, that help run things, the machines behind things, the more you could have them take on the whirlwind, take and systemize them a computer program is a system if you think about it, it's it has a has a very predictable mathematical way of functioning. And it either produces what you want on the other end, or it doesn't.

If it doesn't, you got to get in there and tweak it to make it do what it's supposed to do. It's a way of thinking of anything, but it's a machine. And there's nothing wrong with having certain people fill in the parts of that machine where necessary.

But in the long run, you want to do your best to remove people out of the mechanics of business and allow them to be human and grow a little bit further beyond that, when when it's necessary. And when they have the right.
