Today Natalie has us looking to the future:

 

  • How will you build a team around your vision and work smart instead of hard?

 

This one’s not too bad for me given my experiences — I own a Subway franchise that’s over 500 miles from where I live/have a full time manager in place; I’ve had responsibility for an organization of over 600 people, five facilities, and three continents; and, I’ve had to function in multiple situations where there was no real control — is there ever? — but rather simply influence required to get the job done.

There’s a lot of ways you could go about the above task; however, the best way — in my opinion — is to leverage the lessons from a book called “The e-Myth Revisited”.  These guys walk through the challenges an entrepreneur faces and a detail a process on how you should go about building your business.  They emphasize the importance of process and how to structure things so that you can build a team.  For me, I plan on following their template “to a T” as my business grows.

And now I’m going to put all of you on the spot that are reading this.  I’m attaching an electronic summary of my review of this great book.  I’ve invested the time to read, digest, reflect, and summarize the document.  And I’m giving that to all of you!!!  I do have one favor to ask, but you’ll only know what that is if you read the book….
