If you would like more information on the book, then read on
for a moment while I tell you about a totally different concept that will
change your business performance and your personal life
beyond your wildest dreams!

Why did I write this book?

That’s easy, I want other business owners to avoid the common mistakes entrepreneurs make; the same mistakes I made in my first business!

And I certainly don't want you ending up as part of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: "56% of all new business establishments are no longer in existence after 4 years".

And this doesn't count all the small businesses that are continually under-performing.

But why offer such incredible bonuses?

That’s even easier. I want this book to be a best seller; it’s the fastest way to get the good news out!

Are you like I was? Talented but unable to translate those talents into superior results for my company? I searched a long time to find what was missing.

Here's my personal story, see if you can relate to it. If the struggle sounds familiar, definitely is for you!

There was initial excitement at "doing my own thing"...

Like you, when I started my first business I was going to be rich and famous, or at least rich!

It was the early 1980’s. I bought a franchise in a hot, computer-related market segment. In those days, everything in the PC market was hot, hot, hot.

I was no dummy. I had two degrees and 17 years experience in manufacturing, marketing and strategic planning with two Fortune 500 companies.

And all I had to do with my franchise was sell the stuff! My Franchiser provided the products, distributed them and even collected the invoices. The contract said I got 65 cents of every dollar of gross profit.

"What a sweet deal thought I!". Who needs a strategic business plan when all you have to do is sell into a hot market and take 65% of the profit!

All I could see was gold at the end of the rainbow, my castle shimmering in the sun. Visions of a cabin at Aspen and other sugar plums danced in my head!

Then reality set in...

Three years later, the glamour of entrepreneurship had faded. My Franchiser went bankrupt less than a year into the contract. The deal I had with them really was sweet, unfortunately, it was too sweet for them to make money!

Suddenly, I was on my own. I was left high and dry. To survive, I needed new sources of product, credit with vendors and a lot of cash to fund receivables and other working capital. I never had to worry about these things when I worked for a large company or even as a franchise.

I got very busy keeping the company afloat, working 60-70 hours a week to hold it all together. I fought problems with vendors, customers, delivery services and employees. Fighting fires became routine, survival became a normal business day. There wasn't time to work on management skills of any kind. Long-term strategy meant getting through Friday!

I became good at plugging the cash flow dike on a weekly basis. I also refinanced my home several times to get cash. But we survived!

Every time we added another employee the communication and management problem got more difficult.

This nightmare went on for several years before my business turned around. Gradually I found and installed important management systems and procedures to help me routinely control the business. Sometimes I installed them two or three times before I got them right.

Eventually I developed and learned which management skills, systems and procedures were better than average. But many of the attempts at changing my way of doing business were often labored and painful. It seemed like I was always re-inventing the wheel. And I was!

I did not have a simple process to follow to tell me what I needed to install or where to go to get what I needed.

Trying to find simple answers...

The learning process was long and tedious because everything I did was of my own design. I was constantly playing trial and error with the format. I had little time to investigate other approaches or learn new techniques.

I looked at business courses offered at the local colleges but could not relate to them. They offered Managerial Accounting, Business Law etc., all taking a semester each. I did not have time to take business courses or get a degree in management. I needed simple, proven tools right now! Strip away the academic theories. Give me the basics, the tools that work for small business!

I considered hiring management consultants. But they cost two hundred dollars per hour plus expenses. It was simply more than I could afford. A friend of mine had gone that route and the $39,000 bill he ran up in three weeks nearly put him under. He got some good results but not nearly enough to justify the kind of cash the consulting firm extracted from the business. And there were no payment plans to spread the pain over time.

I picked up several "How-To" books on small business topics such as writing a strategic business plan, how to price products and services and how to motivate and reward personnel. They all ended up partially read. Those three topics alone required absorbing over 800 pages! I simply did not have time to master a dozen books on all the topics I needed to cover. And much of what was offered in books was irrelevant to my situation anyway.

It was slow, painful progress...

Eventually we became well organized and profitable. It took every ounce of courage, most of the money and all the energy I had. During this period I became depressed. Then I got divorced. I even entered a 12-step recovery program to overcome some bad habits acquired along the way. I did not understand at the time but the concepts learned in the recovery experience would become invaluable to me and my business later.

So what really happened? When did that yellow brick road to Emerald City turn into a muddy mine field? Was it just the franchise going bad or were there other, more fundamental issues I had not addressed?

The answers came a few years later when I changed my professional focus to Management Consulting. For several years I worked for a large firm and during that period I consulted for over 100 small businesses. I also freelanced my consulting services, working with many troubled businesses that were losing money or were dangerously low in profitability.

Clarity and awakening...

As I worked with more and more small business owners, I noticed a consistent, re-occurring pattern of under-performance. And the reasons were simple; they were making the same mistakes I had made, they didn't know where to turn for the simple, tried and true answers.

Many entrepreneurs do not have a clear vision of what they want their business to be. There is no strategic business plan in place, no well-defined mission, no specific objectives or benchmarks set up to measure progress and make corrections.

Growth is hampered by an over-reliance on verbal communications. As more and more employees enter the picture, manager-owners cannot keep up verbally and that gives subordinates the impression that management is impulsive and inconsistent. The effort required to keep organized by verbal means was overwhelming and, eventually, became chaotic. We need procedures committed to paper but often don't have the time or full knowledge to write them properly.

We become too busy fighting fires and trying to stay alive! Our businesses become lacking in proven management tools that organize, track and control daily business activities; tools large businesses routinely use.

Morale declines for both employees and owners. The constant struggle for survival results in frustration, even depression. Talented people begin to doubt their own capabilities. When owners become depressed, employees' morale also suffers. Practiced this way long enough, burn-out occurs.

All of this was exactly what I had gone through! I easily related to my clients' difficulties because I had been there, done that!

While working for the consulting company (billing $235 per hour plus expenses), I helped many businesses improve their performance. I exposed them to basic management techniques and systems and taught them how to use their new tools. I jokingly called my training getting an MBA Light.

...And that's still a good description!

I came to understand that personal renewal and business renewal are not separate needs. I used principles acquired in the 12-step program to stimulate positive change in owners' attitudes.

Then I wrote down the essence of this renewal process in Six Steps that combine motivational and inspirational concepts with basic, sound management principles and skills.

Here’s the simple format that resulted:

These six easy steps are expalined in detail in the book.
The combination of basic restructuring and personal renewal
resulted in a dramatic change of spirit in the owners I worked with.

It also resulted in very significant improvement
in their business performance!

So I wrote the book to get the word out!
