My Formula for Business Success^® has been the topic of the last two newsletters. The Formula for Business Success^® dictates that you maximize the following factors in order to achieve success – Image, Time, and Efficiency. Plus, there is one factor that you cannot have impact upon, and that is Luck.

As you are maximizing your image and your time, you must also maximize your efficiency. You do this in a number of ways. First, capitalize upon the benefits of technology wherever you can. Computers, laptops, PDAs, etc. all serve to make us more efficient.

Additionally, build your personal network of business relationships – people who can introduce you to others who can use your services, people who can serve as advisors, and mentors and confidantes; people who can serve as “partners”, co-venturers, and who can serve as references for your character and your professionalism.

Establish procedures and guidelines wherever you can within your business. Be careful not to stifle creativity and empowerment, but develop written procedures so that the wheel does not have to be re-invented each time someone does something. As the business evolves, critically review the procedures to make sure they evolve with the business. You don’t want your procedures to hobble productivity

Finally, maximize your “people” leverage. Surround yourself with persons who are well-suited to the tasks that support you and your business. Where you can, outsource a given service to a person or organization that specializes in that particular service or skill-set. They will perform the work with a higher degree of skill and speed and often at a lower cost than you can do it internally

Now you can stop reading about the Formula for Business Success^® and start applying it. So get out there, start maximizing (improving) your image, your use of time, and your efficiency, and you will see your Success increase!
