Becoming a skilled entrepreneur is, honestly, the biggest challenge of all. It’s the true implementation of the systems that create your success. I remember the first time I saw Michael Gerber speak, he brought me to tears. Author of “The E – Myth Revisited,” he speaks to this very important point. Michael says: “Most entrepreneurs are merely technicians with an entrepreneurial seizure. Most entrepreneurs fail because you’re working in your business rather than on your business.”
The true skill for success is understanding how to put systems in place that create the business you desire. That’s working on your business, rather than in it.
What’s interesting is there are many speakers and coaches out there that teach systems. Sales systems, marketing systems, branding systems, speaking systems, the systems are endless! You could go to a class or webinar every day of the week and learn about systems!
But therein lies the problem.
[Tweet “Continuously learning about systems confuses implementing systems. And you must implement them to have success.”]
What I find is many entrepreneurs go to a class, learn the system, think they’ve got it down, and then go home and don’t implement.
So what do they do? They take another class. When what they really needed to do was implement the system.
That’s why I love my MasterMind program. In COMPEL. Speak. Sell we focus on the core systems it takes to make your business successful. They are what I call the “5 Frames of a Bad-Assery Business”. Because the participants are consistently working on implementing one system, they are able to measure and monitor results, prove success, and eventually adapt the system to best fit their business needs and desires.
That level of stick-to-it-ive-ness is really important!
