Michael Kramer, CEO of WinBig.org, likewise subscribes to the belief that systems and processes are the approach that small-business owners should adopt in order to leverage their time and resources.By visiting his website (www.winbig.org), you can access his free "Win Big" e-book, which provides examples of the processes he has developed in his business, WB Strategies Inc.
Kramer discovered as he observed well-run businesses that the formula underlying their success came down to systems and processes.The lack of these supports often leads to the imperceptible but debilitating drain on the small-business owner's greatest asset - time.As Kramer began to experiment in his own business, he developed the "win big formula" and now consults with major organizations.
It's common knowledge, backed up by Kramer's observations and research, that a major reason small businesses falter in the startup stage is the amount of time and energy required to get established.Many business owners sleep, eat and live in their businesses during this stage, which leads to burnout and, ultimately, ineffectiveness.
Kramer believes implementing support systems offers major benefits that affect the bottom line, as well as alleviating the pressure on the business owner."The systems made me irrelevant to my company's day-to-day operations," he says.
