QUICK POINTS ON ‘SYSTEMS’Reliable processes & procedures

that empower your business to consistently produce an excellent result for your clients

Documented best practices that boost your company’s efficiency and reduce costly mistakes – checklists, forms, standardised contracts, technology, etc


THE THREE LEVELS OF BUSINESSLevel ONE: one-man-band; working

from home; the boss does EVERYTHING; 100hour ‘working’ week & no off-days; etc.

Level TWO – largely a one-man-band; no real team to talk about; customers/clients; generating some sales, here & there;

Level THREE – business systems & financial & operating controls AND a team


GROWTH & THE THREE LEVELSTEAM: Together Everyone Achieves

MoreHaving a TEAM in itself forms part of

creating a BUSINESS SYSTEM based entity! The best way to build a L3 business is to have great team members who consistently perform for you company

In a Level 1 ‘business’: nothing happens when the ‘boss’ is away (assuming s/he has employees)


GROWTH & THE THREE LEVELSLevel 2 business: a bit better

than Level 1 in most respects – one or two ‘employees’ but they still can’t do what the boss knows & does; working fewer hours; still no real distinction between personal and business bank account or budget; an unqualified & inexperienced spouse is still involved in the business;


GROWTH & THE THREE LEVELSBusiness growth can best be

accelerated when you become a Level 3 business!Systems are in place & working as they

shouldRepeat business – clients satisfied with

initial order/request and the quality of service

More (knowledgeable & talented) people = TEAM can now synergise to maximise revenue growth

Work gets done and results produced in the business owner’s absence, i.e. – your business will have eventually replaced you from it’s day-to-day operations!


THE CRITICAL BUILDING BLOCKS – L3A. The Business Owner’s Mindset –

need to get out of the employee mentality & get into the entrepreneur mode! (Mental Shift)

procedures, and safeguards that PROTECT your business from uninformed/inappropriate decisions/actions by any team member.

IBC’s are also your business’s way of ensuring critical work is getting done on time and the right way

Checklists/Visual Process Controls; Scorecards/Metrics & ‘Embedded Controls’
