If it doesn’t save me Energy, Time, and Money… I won’t follow it!

Cynthia Wihardja Busines Coach ActionCOACH

Coach Cynthia

That’s what your employees are thinking.  That’s why the big thick book of SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) is only sitting on the shelf looking pretty.  That’s why people are still following their own way of working instead of working based on your system.

Are you an entrepreneur or an employee with a business?

80% of businesses fail in 5 years time because owners only build a JOB for themselves, not a business that can eventually run autopilot.  What’s the difference between thinking like an entrepreneur and an employee in building a business?

We all know what JOB stands for… Just Over Broke.  And if you see your business as something you have to be actively involved in forever after, then get ready for burnout.  Business owners with an employee mindset think mostly of the day-to-day routines that are necessary to keep their business afloat.  They barely schedule any time for planning, building systems, or developing themselves as entrepreneurs.  They may hang out with people with the same problem and spend most of their time frustrated that they haven’t found the solution yet.  As years go by, they find themselves having a big BUSY-ness but a pretty stagnant BUSINESS.  Continue reading

As I always say, we cannot expect we have the best and lower price product in the world, of which it will sell itself. Continue reading

Are You Treating Your Repeat Customers Better Than Your New Customers?

Are You Treating Your Repeat Customers Better Than Your New Customers

Marvin Suwarso

Coach Marvin

In his book “First Break All The Rules” Marcus Buckingham spoke about how the best managers in the world play favorites. They treat their best employees differently than their other employees. This in itself is an interesting point, but I recently had a couple of experiences that really drove home the point for me – only this time in a different context: just how important it is to treat your repeat customers better than your new ones.

Test and Measure Your Business… and Your Life
