In the final episode of our 3-part series, we’re covering the People and Processes portion of your business plan.

Tune in to understand how to make sure you have the right people in the right seats in your company as well as the key systems and processes to maximize your profit.

In this first episode, we’re going to talk about your values, vision and strategy for your business. If you’ve went through the book, this initial exercise is what’s referred to as your VTO, your Vision/Traction Organizer. This is the part that you figure out who you are as a company, why you exist, what makes you different in your market.

What are you running for? What’s the grind going to pay off in your business? Are you burning the candle at both ends. Are you doing it because it’s the daily routine, or are you doing it because you know where you’re going and it’s the season you’re in? 

One of our favorite things to talk about with companies is that growth isn’t always necessary. Sometimes it is to achieve the lifestyle you want in business, both financially and time freedom. But many people grow just because they think that’s what you’re supposed to do, only to realize it really didn’t serve them at all once they “got there” or anywhere along the journey.

In today’s episode we’re going to talk about the difference between a lifestyle business and a growth business, and how to figure out which one is for you.

If you are like most business owners, you think, I can just do it myself. I’ve worn all the hats here for years, I can just do it. Its easier for me to do it than to explain to someone how to do it. Does that sound familiar? As Entrepreneurs, we will hit a ceiling in our business if we don’t learn to delegate. Unfortunately, what many people do is wait too long to delegate, get frustrated when it doesn’t go well, and resume doing it themselves. Or even worse, we do desperation delegation, where we just throw people into the fire and hope they brought an extinguisher with them.

In today’s episode we talk about delegation in your business, the number 1 thing to freeing up your time and getting ownership of your business again. We share some things to consider along with the pitfalls to avoid when it comes to delegation.
