Let’s say that, by chance, it’s your birthday. But it falls on a weekday. And it’s actually a Friday. Sure you could justify a three-day weekend and take the day off. But you actually like your work. Because you run a business that you set up based on your skills and talents. So, it never feels like work.
Well, do you still take the day off and enjoy a three-day weekend?
There’s no exact correct answer to that question. I’m just asking a question to get you think about what it takes to make sure you have good options for your answer.
And a three-day weekend of making merry with friends or family and lots of good food and adult beverages ALWAYS sounds good. But then again, when you love your work, an extra day of sales and profits does, too.
There’s something you can do to be sure you have whichever option you prefer.
Set up roles and responsibilities.
I remember my client who hired (and then had to fire) a friend of his. He made what I called a “rookie move” and had to pay the penalty. And the penalty included lost time, lost productivity, and possibly a lost friend.
I know how cold and harsh it can “feel” to establish rules (roles) for the positions in your business. But it’s actually quite the opposite. Because, hurt feelings almost always happen because of a lack of clear communication. And you don’t get any clearer than rules (roles) written down in black and white.
But I’m not talking about writing things down, with a pencil, on a notepad. No, you gotta set things up and put them where everyone in your organization has access. So they can’t come back later and say,
“But I didn’t know.”
So, that’s why I included a clear cut way to set all this up in my RondaReady business management system. I wanted it to be plug and play simple to use. Not easy. Because running a successful business takes work. But it IS simple. And if you’re the kind of business owner who can plug into it and implement it, you can see amazing results.
