When we start a business we are often on our own so in full control and usually doing everything ourselves. If what we do is successful we then hire others and the business starts to grow and move on. However owner managers of even small businesses with a few staff quickly lose sight of how effectively they operated when they were on their own. This ‘success recipe’ can very quickly get watered down.
Sometimes when we look together at the way their businesses operate and agree improvements, my clients say ‘I used to do that when I was on my own or when we were smaller.’ They have just drifted a little from the way they applied themselves in the past and how they delivered the basics when they started. Today after congratulating a client on focusing back on the essentials and tightening up on the processes he wrote ‘I think I am getting my mojo back.’’ Wonderful! This describes the adjustment process perfectly. Is your business success recipe still being cooked up with the same care and quality or has it become a little watered down?
