You Must Know How To Run Your Business Right
If your business is to be a success and YOU are to become one of the ‘10% CLUB’, YOU must KNOW how to run your business RIGHT.
It constantly amazes me that many small and medium sized businesses have such a poor knowledge of how to RUN their businesses RIGHT and such businesses ALWAYS perform POORLY.
Always!
Often a poor performance can be converted into a massive SUCCESS by simply UNDERSTANDING how to run a business MUCH BETTER.
It is often as simple as that!
Each Business Can Be Divided Into 7 Parts
Each small and medium sized business can be divided into the following SEVEN GENERAL PARTS:-
- CUSTOMERS
- PRODUCTS
- MONEY
- MARKETING, BRANDING & SELLING
- CUSTOMER SERVICE
- BUSINESS RUNNING & BACK OFFICE
- EMPLOYMENT
Every business has ALL of the above, unless YOU have NO EMPLOYEES.
Every Part Of Your Business Has Equal Importance
Every PART is as important as the other PARTS within the business. If YOU are to OPTIMIZE your BUSINESS SUCCESS and your BUSINESS PROFIT every PART must be RUN to its BEST.
If ONE PART is run LESS WELL, then this will affect the WHOLE BUSINESS.
You Must Know How To Run Each Part To Optimize Your Business
If YOU want your business to run to its OPTIMUM, YOU must UNDERSTAND how to RUN EACH PART OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Let me ask YOU these 22 questions:-
- Do you REALLY understand your target customers and what they REALLY want to buy from you and what they want to pay YOU?
- Do your REALLY understand the products that your target customers need and are your products RIGHT for your customers?
- Are the sales of your products increasing, year on year, and do you REALLY understand how to keep your sales growing?

- Are your employees REALLY a real asset to your business & are they REALLY making a real contribution to your business as a whole?
I could have asked YOU many more questions, but these 22 are arguably the most important questions to ask anyone running a business.
