We have a one time event for a non-profit coming up in a week that has been scheduled for a year now. The project leader never made a timeline of important tasks that needed to get done. They never trained people on the different software packages or delegated responsibility of what had to get done. And now, one week before the event, a major life changing event (and not the good kind) has affected the project leader.

What kind of backup plan does your organization have?
Are you a hand’s on leader who maybe should not be?

I know of a small one man firm with a great product, excellent customer service and fantastic prices. He has customers lined up outside his door and around the corner every day.
He would like to grow and know he can easily except…

Except no one can do the little things he does every day just like he does and teaching them and managing others would take away his productive time. And so, he will always be a small one man firm.

Learn what the key points of your business are and learn to delegate everything else. Figure out how to replicate yourself and then clone your success many times over just like a franchise restaurant (McDonalds) does.
