So you want to have the fastest growing company in the world. Any one coach or entrepreneur can tell you it takes teamwork, time management, organizational, innovation and task-driven skills. Almost always right, but what does it take to make a great company in the world today? Is it technology, partly; innovation, partly; but not completely. What makes the best companies rise to the top? What makes a company go from $0-$1,000,000 in 1 year. What makes a company go from $0-$1,000,000,000 in 1 year? Gee I just want to get to $100,000 the start-up entrepreneur says. How do I get there? How can I expand? This will take a lot of time! I don't have the capital! Never done this before! Ok, so it's not like a baby being born can run a short sprint. But over time depending on the resources, influence and training...how about a little jog, a little success perhaps. No success is not the S-WORD. However, the answer is the S word. The S word changes everything, but you have to create the S. S takes time, collaboration, constant, collective, communication at all levels. However S takes more than this, it takes exectuable action. S is something like the atmosphere, it is made up of a bunch of things, energy, some positive, some negative, molecules, tiny particles. The best and most successful businesses have systems in place. NO, SYSTEMS IS NOT THE S WORD. Everyone has systems, effective systems are better but what are effective systems? What creates culture? Every heard of someone who started a small business or their dad started a small business years ago. Used to have an idea to start something, told a few friends and started selling more things. How did he do this? Not by himself! Ever heard of this story in the car rental industry? How about the furniture business? Home theatre systems and electronics business? Easily created?@#, but easily duplicated by others, no, yes, maybe? So what is it? What is the S word? Very few entrepreneurs have the S word. Does the S WORD have to do with innovation in new frontiers, railroad, energy, transportation, software revolution. Yes, partly but the S WORD has more to it than innovation and technology. The S WORD is not something that can be developed too easily, or too quickly. The S WORD works in every industry, in every country in every product or service. However not many people strive to achieve the S WORD. Some have heard about it, others try to imitate, but not many consistently continue to do it. Business Growth @2006 |
