Working ON Your Business--Not IN It!

A lot of business owners are doing the work of two or more people. They normally spend 8 to 12 hours a day working in one or more of the positions in their organizations. "So where," you ask, "will I find time to work on developing systems to organize my operation?" You may not like the answer, but this is what I did...

I spent at least 2 to 4 extra hours each day, and a lot of weekends, on the most important systems. I worked on designing a system to fix the biggest leaks first. I call it System Buster...it's in the Book. After about two years, things really started to roll, and a former business owner who was counseling me observed, "Philip, you're spending your days taking in orders or acting as a customer service rep. You need to train someone else for those jobs and work on your business."

So I started to work on systems for customer service and order entry positions that took most of my time. When the systems were completed, I took my friend's advice. I hired my very talented daughter-in-law for those positions. After three months she was doing about 80% of my work. Wow! I had six hours more each day to work on the business. I was finally at the top of the organization, and I couldn't believe the transformation that started taking place.

You see, I didn't think I would ever be free of those other positions. I didn't think I could trust others with them, so I kept my hands on everyone's work and every project to make sure my business survived..until I learned the power of SYSTEMS. Now I know the solutions to your problems come as you install good systems. They free up more of your time, and they simplify your life!

So, to begin, you build a complete system for the position you are working in, then you need to hire someone, or train someone that's already on your staff, on the system for your position. Once you work it so you really are only at the top of the organizational chart and not trying to be all things to all people, you find you have the time to actually work on your vision of becoming a great organization.

Your new position is to work ON the business, not IN it!

Truth is...All those things that most business owners long to do are not as far off as you think...

---More time for family

---Take a real vacation

---Eliminate stress

---Time for other projects

---Start another enterprise

---Maybe write a book?

Truth is...GREAT SYSTEMS WORK!  The GOOD news is...we did the ground work, and now you can reap the benefits.  Check out www.system100.com


WHAT SOME ARE SAYING

A Proven System That Works!  "I just read Philip Beyer's System Buster book and thoroughly enjoyed seeing myself and our company in the book, repeatedly.  What's more, I was thrilled to know that we're not that far off in our practices and that there is a tried and proven system that's in place at Beyer Printing, and it works!"  ...Jackie L. Griese, Owner, GGG Digital Graphics, Evansville IN

New Hope and Direction For Our Business!  "This book is motivating and drives you to be a better business person.  Since I started building our system, I have been able to identify the hidden, underlying problems that have continually set us back and corrected them.  Philip Beyer's Christian point of view is refreshing and reminds me of the importance of integrity in all regards.  I have new hope and direction for my business. Six stars!" ...A. Parker, Reviewer, Amazon.com

System Buster--Full of Wisdom!  "Congratulations on your book and what it has meant to your business.  My first read was very helpful.  My Operations Manager is reading it now, then I'll take a second run-through, taking notes and building a "to do" list.  Most important to me, System Buster gives me a series of models which I am anxious to apply.  One you reference is the application of the time-keeping software.  Philip, thanks for the information and inspiration you offer in System Buster.  It's full of wisdom!  I'm going to get a couple more copies on order today.  I'll keep mine at my side, give my Operations Manager one, and have a third available for our employees and my wife to read."  ...Scott Fenneman, Owner, Kwik Kopy Business Solutions, Evansville IN
