In my next few entries I am going post some excerpts from my soon to be published e-boon on Systemizing your business. The first is from Part II…
Why Systemize Your Business?
Why should you systemize your business? What’s the point? What’s in it for you, the business owner?

Stability
First of all it brings stability to your business. So what you ask? Well, would you stand on the top of a rickety ladder? Of course not! Wouldn’t you want that ladder to have a sturdy and stable base?

Would you rather cross an unsafe and poorly made bridge or a stable and well made bridge?

Stability in your business offers the same benefits as stability anywhere else in life, do you really want every decision, event or issue to be an exception? Or would you like stability in your business where most, if not all events are handled routinely, as a matter of course. Without you having to deal with them. Or would you like that they be dealt with by subordinates in the course of business.

Only those items that are truly exceptions would necessitate managerial involvement. Even if you could only bring 80% of your decisions, transactions, client interactions, etc. into the realm of stability and still had to deal with 20% of these, wouldn’t that be light years ahead of where you are now?
