YOUR TEAMS GREATER THAN INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS? - WILLIAM EASTMAN

PROFIT RADIO..."Let's Grow Together"

Introduction
Today I am wearing my O Hat - Operations or "Get It Done". That means I building the infrastructure to not only make or deliver what we sell but also all of the back office systems required to a properly functioning business. Operations doesn't directly impact revenue, it's impact is on PROFIT.

The second issue is the Stage of Growth. We are at Stage VI where the concern is using teams as a method to take the company to the next level.  Sounds dangerous and if not well managed, it is. However you don't have a choice. Put the right structure in place, select the right people, and manage the process - the result will exceed what you thought was possible.

Last thought before we start, I want to invite you to my new group on our Community of Commerce - Living the Life . If you are a serial entrepreneur and looking to discuss how to build a business that runs itself so you can start running multiple businesses - this is the right spot.
​
