Фрагмент книги «The Power of System. How to Build a Lean Business»

Who builds the business system? The entrepreneur himself. It’s not enough to have a dream — you need to learn how to make it happen. How are business and dream connected — commercial and romantic? Everything in business starts with a dream. A dream gives you energy and that impulse that will always push you forward, no matter how many difficulties you face. A dream is the sun that you aim for and that illuminates your life. Your life plans, your goals and your visual picture for each year, month or day are connected to the dream. These aren’t just empty words. They are reality. To adapt a dream to your goals and circumstances, you need special knowledge and first others’ experience and only after your own practical experience.

The very word «entrepreneur» contains action. An entrepreneur is not the one who, like a reaper, cuts ripe spikelets and collects profits from the company, although that, of course, is one of his main tasks, but the one who, having created the system, achieves its independent functioning, without constant interference, but also allows all the system’s participants to fulfill their potential and giving them the opportunity to earn good wages and feel proud of their involvement in the system.

We know many examples of successful businesses in the world — these are megacompanies that are well-known. How do they keep their reputation for decades? How do they scale and are popular with their customers? This is not only thanks to financial policy and competent business planning, but also thanks to a well-developed training system. At every stage and for every employee, the system is perfectly honed. The skill development system never stops moving. This is important because daily training leads to daily improvements and results. You will probably think that it is impossible to improve something every day, sooner or later you will reach a dead end. I’d like to disagree. It’s like being a child. In the morning, we see him one way, and in the evening, returned from work, we see something has changed in his behavior — he has already taught how to do something else. It seems like a small step, but this step is obvious. The same principle is applying to the company, when you teach and learn something new every day, even for half an hour. This process may not always be noticeable, but if you compare the result yesterday with today, you will always see a difference. And this should be with a positive sign. If this doesn’t happen, then there is something wrong with the system and it needs to be fixed.
