Think your employees should all have common sense? Think again.
Any assumption that anyone else should think the way you do is, in fact, the opposite of common sense! The truth? Assumptions about other people often open the door to a swift takeover by the infamous Chaos Inc.
Ready to take your small business to a whole new level of effectiveness? Time to learn more about systems, courtesy of a Lynda.com freebie from my Small Business Secrets course!
The beauty of systems is that they not only make your life easier, but they’re also a heck of a lot easier to implement than you think!
Save time by skipping minor details and instead, have an employee create an outline. Thus creating a learned, bare-bones version of your vision.
And stop stressing, because it will never be perfect. Systems are perpetual drafts, and aren’t the only solution. Get in the mindset that this is a guideline to help steer clear of chaos, and not an end-all-be-all answer to all your problems.
Speaking of answers to all your problems—no, I don’t have those, but I can get darn close. Get more, premium-level entrepreneurial tips with this free 7-day Lynda.com trial!
