E Myth Guy Michael Gerber – Was He Wrong?

E Myth Guy Michael Gerber – Was He Wrong?

A fellow entrepreneur and I were questioning if Michael Gerber was right or wrong with his approach to building businesses.

I had the honor of spending a day with Michael many years ago when he explained to me the four key tenants of developing great Entrepreneurial success.

·       Orchestration 

·       Systemization 

·       Implementation 

·       Inspection

Towards the end of the conversation my friend and I agreed that in fact Michael Gerber is right. We further agreed that where we often miss it is with the inspection piece!

Like many lessons in life and in business, what know as being true and what we do is often incongruent.

We have heard, know and understand the lesson “It’s not what you expect, it’s what you INSPECT.” 

Personally, it could be getting on the scale once per week or tracking your food intake on a spreadsheet and reviewing it carefully to spot trends.

In business, when was the last time you inspected your Google analytics? How about those nice dashboards you may have in place or spending time with whatever accounting and other software you use to run your business. Maybe delve into some of those reports that you have never have or rarely look at. Consider spot checking the notes in your CRM from salespeople who you expect are using these tools correctly.

By building new inspection points into your business might yield new data that could have you making very different decisions.

No bull

Look at something that’s not going right in your business, list out possible inspection points and start there. You may find out quickly that while the concept you orchestrated, carefully systematized and spent ample time & money implementing was or is not producing the desired result.

Consider focusing more time on the inspection piece.  

You might see much better results by INSPECTING versus expecting.
