How Strong is your Business?

Wow – the weeks just seem to be flying by. Before you know it, we will be at Christmas.

For me particularly, I feel like I am living out of a suitcase so I know the time will fly by.

Steve & I went away Glamping with the puppies on the weekend – to a beautiful glamping site in Matakana owned by my gorgeous friends, Dee & Damon.

They’ve just launched this & their eco retreat & we wanted to support them (no special deals) plus it was our wedding anniversary so it was Steve’s treat for us.

I can highly recommend it – It is off grid, so there is no mains power & there is no internet, so you have to watch what you do with power (no hair dryers!) & you have to talk to each other.?

We struggled with no google for a few hours & then chilled out & read books – can you guess which 2 are mine?

There’s an outdoor bath & every luxury you could wish for (except internet & power) so it’s really a great way to unwind. Here is the link if you're interested!

I am currently in the lounge on the way to Melbourne to run an EOS Mastermind group for self-implements & when that is finished, I’ll be heading back to Sydney to continue working on Dad’s stuff.

And I only just got back from Christchurch last night after an EOS Client Session at The Christchurch Club…?I do have to say that I love this club even more now that they finally have air conditioning in the rooms!

I worked out in their gym in the morning, which is superbly equipped & then had drinks there in the evening & met some amazing people.

When I get back from Sydney, we’ve got a few hours in Auckland & then it’s off to Wellington for a week with our besties. We’re off to Martinborough for the long weekend with them as well, so that trip will be pure pleasure I think… Unless anyone wants to catch up with me – I have Thursday & Friday free for business??

And then once we get home from Wellington then I am off to Sydney & Melbourne for another 2 weeks – to deliver more workshops & finalise the container to come home from Dad’s place.?

So, living out of a suitcase until early November, but I truly do love what I do & we are interspersing it with other passions, so I am loving it!?

I’ve got quite a few client sessions this next month (here in NZ & in Australia) so I am really looking forward to those.

What is life holding for you at the moment? Would love to hear.

BETTER BUSINESS: Are you missing a team member?

You've heard me talk about Visionaries and Integrators and their importance. But, what if you've only got one of them? How does your team function???

Is it probably functioning just 'okay' right? Of course, and you might think this is as good as it will get for now. But trust me, it can be better just by having the right people in the right seats!?

This blog post shows examples of why the two roles are important for any business and why the right people should fill in these two roles.

FIND OF THE WEEK: Have you read it yet??

Have you read it yet??

I got so frustrated when I had to put out fires continuously. I knew the key to this had a process, but I hated process... Or so I thought. And then we did a deep dive into Process in our EOS Quarterly QCE & then I got sent this book & realised that I love Process!?

Why? Because it's actually what we Visionaries do – naturally... Yes, I know that sounds counterintuitive, but you have to trust me.?

This book is a deep dive into the revolutionary EOS method to strengthen a company's process component.?

The book says, "Yet the processes & actions that you developed & that created exceptional results are not all that obvious to most people in a growing business. Meeting employees to figure it out for themselves is inefficient & costly."

And as John Wooden says, "If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"

Entrepreneurs underestimate how much time is wasted by their inattention to process. They also overestimate the time it will take to strengthen their organisation's Process Component.?
