Self Managing Business
The #1 reason most small businesses struggle is because there is only ONE OWNER.
The problem is simple: everyone else on the team is an employee, volunteer, or manager of some sort and approaches their work that way. You say, “Well that’s normal, right?” Yes it is, but it’s also a fatal flaw – because until everyone on the team thinks and acts like an owner, the business will never reach its potential. Never.
Here’s why:
- Owners think in terms of the business as a whole…
- They work late and come early…
- They do things that “aren’t their job”…
- Owners consider the economic consequences of their decisions…
- They get paid based on the success of the business…
- They are passionate about what they do because it reflects them personally…
- Owners don’t look to other people to solve their problems, and…
- They stake their reputation on their work, their business.
In other words every action an owner takes is directly tied to the big picture and what’s best for the business.
What MasterPlan™ proposes to do is to help turn everyone you work with into Owners who work just like you do. Not in terms of equity, but in terms of mentality. Think about it: What would your business be like if everyone, and we mean everyone, had an “ownership mentality?”
The answer is easy: It would make all the difference and you could finally Reap the Rewards of Ownership…more free time, less stress, more profit, consistently excellent customer service!
Ownership Automation & The Self Managing Business
Ownership Automation is the term we use to refer to the process that makes this happen. Through MasterPlan™ your team incrementally moves into new way of working – automatically. Day by day, activity by activity, the system itself starts to guide your people to think and act with the big picture in mind. That means you don’t have to keep feeling stressed and under the weight of everything depending on you. You don’t need that drama in your life anymore…and it just doesn’t work!
MasterPlan™ makes great employees even better and it gives under performers a real shot in the arm. Happier, focused employees means less turnover and more productivity. And it does this without you having to micro manage. Real growth in individual productivity and problem solving comes incrementally, one bit at a time. That’s the heart of high performance. That’s what MasterPlan™ does – it coaches you and your team, day by day, hour by hour, giving you both the incentive and feedback champions require.
When everyone is an owner, a small business comes alive. Everyone wins, everyone’s interests are aligned! This is MasterPlan™
