No business ever drives itself

摘要

As business consultants and mentors, the most common thing we are told when we meet business owners for the first time, is that the better part of their business simply 'runs itself'. They would prefer to focus on developing the latest 'shiny new things' and they would like our help to do it. In saying the 'better part' of their business, we're referring to its origins - the product or service the business was founded on; the most established part of the business, with the best systems and processes; the area that brings in the most cash and has the longest serving staff.
