My last posting I discussed the three basic pillars of simple small business success; Create the Work, Get the Work, and Do the Work. These three pillars each have three sub-columns in which you should be aware.
In the previous article I mentioned that it is imperative that you find help with two of the Basic Pillars while you focus on only the third (it does not matter which one). As your small business grows you can and should take the liberty to break each of the Pillars down into their sub-columns assigning someone different to each area. You can slowly do this as your business grows, delegating or farming out one sub-column at a time over time.
Pillar 1 – Create the Work:
- Develop the Product (R & D and Market Research)
- Develop the Production System (Purchasing Materials, Stocking, Quality Control, Facility Layout and Manufacturing Processes)
- Developing the Distribution System (Packaging, Shipping and Receiving)
