About a month ago I asked you, “What does success look like?” Today’s post builds on that question with another – “Does your business have a system or a process for that?”
It’s not just about goals, although setting systems and processes in place to achieve your goals is crucial. No, I’m talking about the project level and task level stuff that you or your team is responsible for. Without a recognizable process, what happens when you or a team member gets sick?

Wow, it’s been six months since my last post! No excuses … this is not the way to run a blog, and not the way to put the best face forward on our business.
