Description
Our Entrepreneurial Operating Guide utilizes eight essential steps to streamline and grow your business. First, complete a Wheel of Business to determine how balanced you and your company are in the eight areas.
Next, you will spend time systematically getting things out of your head and onto paper. This book is a fill-in-the-blank guide (not a reading book) that will allow you to create your operations for your current business or a new business endeavor. Let the process guide your direction.
If you have a leadership team, purchase a guide for each person and include them in this process. Communicate the vision, focus the team, and guide your direction.
Communicate the Vision
1. Bring your vision to life by implementing your vision and goals with our Business Vision, 360 Vision, Vision Sheet, and 18-Month Planners.
2. Document a simple process for the five main areas of your business. There are also three additional blank title process pages to document other central areas of your company. KISS: Keep it Simple, Sam!
Focus the Team
3. Gathering and tracking life-changing data is crucial. We've included everything from documenting rocks and issues to tracking your scorecard numbers and who is accountable by quarter.
4. Getting the Right People in the Right Seats is one of the most challenging aspects of running a business. Check out our starting point diagram of an Accountability Chart and a page to create your own. Focus on what each team member is "accountable for" versus what they "do." You will also find a one-page evaluation sheet per quarter to assess your team.
5. Balance Work and Life is a hot topic. Invest in yourself and your staff to be rewarded immensely—several worksheets to help you focus on yourself.
Guide Your Direction
6. Finances can be simple—budget for what is most important. Track where the money goes and adjust as needed. We've included a finance page, profit goals, and expense budget to get you started if you are not using financial software.
7. & 8. Resolving Issues is the key to gaining momentum, and the only way to resolve them is to address and solve them in weekly meetings. We've included a simple meeting process and checklist that works, 52 weeks of meeting templates, and another Wheel of Business to assess your growth at the end of this journey.
Remember to check out all of the extras at the end of this Entrepreneurial Operating Guide to further your quest to operate your business more efficiently.
