Recently, the "Increased awareness of earningI previously wrote an article titled When I ordered my own first Porsche, a 911 Carrera T, at the end of last year,
'If we don't get approved for a loan, we'll give up. I'm sure it won't pass.... Considering my current financial situation, I'd rather wait two or three years before I buy."
I was thinking, and if anything, "It would be very difficult if the loan went through, I'd rather it didn't...I even thought, "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do this. (Hey!)
Thankfully, however, I was approved for a loan, and the purchase of a Porsche became a reality.We have to make good money on this!And that's when the switch was flipped.
As such, I began to devote myself more to my own company's work and went to various senior executives for advice on how to grow my company, when I received a shocking word from one of them.
There is no service in your company right now." And.
."Tell me about your company's services.I was told, "I'm sorry," and after I had put my heart and soul into my explanation, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."I don't service my own company.I honestly didn't understand what he meant when he said, "I don't know what you're talking about.
Obviously, "theWhat? What do you mean?I had a dubious look on my face, and my senior continued to speak to me like this.
You yourself are embedded in what the company is offering now, aren't you? And a large percentage of it.
Because it belongs to the genus,Inefficient, difficult to expand, and the more work that is done, the greater the individual burden.We're in a state.
By service, I mean something that doesn't have a manager or a specific person embedded in it.A system in place that provides some equal value no matter who is doing it.say.
In other words, there is no service in your company right now, unfortunately.
If you want to keep doing what you're doing, I won't say anything,I want to grow the company and make more money. I want to make our members earn more money too."Right?
Then we need to create a proper mechanism.
And.
I see. It was a bit of a shock to receive such astute advice on something that had finally taken shape little by little through repetition of hard thinking, thinking, moving, improving, and so on... but it was true.
And when I mentioned this to my husband the other day, he laughed and said something like this.
No, you're right, that's exactly what I think. You should write about this in your blog next time.
And. (So I took your advice and blogged about it.)
My husband was in the same situation as I am now, some time after he started his business, and from that point on, he seriously considered structuring his business, and now the company is able to run without problems even without him.
Rather than "After buying a Porsche, which had been a dream of his for many years, he was shocked to find that he had no time to drive it because of all the work he had to do.He said (laughs).
After receiving this shocking advice from a senior colleague, I began to focus on creating a structure for my company.
Specifically, the process of a project can be visualized, made into a manual, shared in meetings to share intentions and aims and actually try it out, and then improved as needed if defects are found there....
The process of visualizing one by one what used to be a black box is very time-consuming, and we have to deal with business meetings and production to deadlines as we have in the past.
With 24 hours in a day totally missing, and with my head on a swivel.How can we do this efficiently, with quality, and with care?These are truly days of thinking while running.
However, since I started working on the mechanism, my awareness of it has clearly changed. The change in it is that "Pay them and leave it to them.The thing is that there is a gradual increase in awareness of the importance of
Up until now, I have been the type to go at it alone.
The first company I started was almost entirely a one-man operation, and I would say the blog is run by a couple,I like to do everything alone within my reach.And, most importantly, the team was not good at it.
But to create a system in the current company, you need to delegate it to others, and because you delegate it, the fee you pay goes up.If fees are to increase, the unit cost of services will need to increase from what it is now,In order to raise the unit price, it is important to further improve quality, and to do so, we have come to believe that we must also strengthen our structure and training system so that the same level of quality can be maintained regardless of who participates in the project.
While setting a direction with this in mind, I left the work to those around me, which allowed me to focus even more on sales activities, and my work began to increase.
I am so proud of the members who are willing to run with me, who are always making mistakes, and I am still a work in progress, but I think a good cycle is beginning to come around little by little.
In this position, there are fewer and fewer people who can give me candid advice on various matters.
But through this shocking advice from a senior, I was able toI was able to reaffirm the importance of the structure in the company's services, and by working on it, I could see a path for the company's overall growth.I think.
As a businessperson, I want to continue to challenge myself by constantly reviewing my awareness and actions, and I want to grow myself and the company by not being afraid to learn from those around me and by being open to feedback.
And since the Carrera T delivery is coming up (more on this in a later post), I'll make sure I'm a Porsche-worthy person...And most importantly, to be in a position to afford the loan.(I'm so strapped right now that I've publicly stated that if I can't pay my mortgage, the worst that can happen is that I'll sell the house! ) I would like to continue to do my best.
