HOW FIT IS YOUR BUSINESS - WILLIAM EASTMAN

Creating a Plan for Using the COMMUNITY...

Introduction
This opening is simple. In a world where all the forces are aligned to make it impossible for small businesses, under 500 employees, to survive, we all need a community that cares. We have built it and offering you the same thing that drove us - a safe harbor.

That is part of IBGR becoming your CGO - your virtual Chief Growth Officer. In that mode we have built a platform that moves beyond the one-way conversation of radio and podcasts to real relationships; our Community of Commerce where you can engage world-class talent.

A thought before we start, JOIN my new group in the IBGR.Community - Living the Life . If you are a serial entrepreneur and looking to discuss how to build a company that runs itself as part of creating a business empire or live a more balanced life, what ever that means - this is the right spot.

LISTEN > ENGAGE > APPLY

Objectives - The WHY
I don't want to dictate what we discuss in my community group, but certainly want to put some guard rails on it. We will discuss more that just the status of improvement projects you have underway, however I do want to make this one of the major topics.

Given we are all struggling in some way with the pandemic craziness, sustaining growth will be a real challenge when surviving might be enough for most business owners. We will cover how to evaluate your company's current FITness and how to build a trackable plan

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. Where is my business today?
2. Which issues/obstacles provide me the greatest leverage for improvement
3. What is my plan to close the gaps between today and where I want to take the business?
4. How do I measure and track to stay on course and schedule?

What You Need to Know - The WHAT​
Our Model for Fast and Sustainable Growth (FIT)

• FOCUS: identifying all of the suspect problems and obstacles to growth to create a cause and effect chart. Based on this analysis, determining which issue, if removed or lessened, will provide the greatest positive impact?
• IMPROVE: analyze the gap between where you need to be and where you are, building an improvement plan to close the gap in a timebound period.
• TRACK: ensure you can track the performance of your improvement initiatives and how well you are closing then overall gap between today and the fuure.
