If you’ve been in business for very long, you already understand how difficult running your own business can be. There are employees to manage, customers to wow, and overhead to maintain.

What usually happens is small business owners get so caught up in running a day-to-day marathon that they don’t take the time to put a system in place. However, without a system small businesses owners:

• Must Work Harder
• Must Work Longer
• Lose potential Sales
• Often Make Mistakes
  

No matter what type of small business you own, implementing a system is critical to effectively manage your company.  Think about how quickly fast food restaurants are able to serve their customers, Consider how smoothly employees at an amusement park, like Disney World, get people through the lines and on to the rides.

It is because they have perfected a system, that works…  Michael Gerber, the e-myth guru, recommends that we work “On-our Business” and not “In-our Business”.  The only way to do that is through a system.

When a business owner takes the time to put functional systems in place, they:

• Work smarter
• work faster
• Make more money
• More accurately fulfill customer needs

Don’t trudge through the chaos.  Systemize  your company and watch how easy managing your business becomes.

Did you become a small business owner because you enjoy marketing? Probably not. But, if you’re going to continue to grow your business you have to realize this important fact: you are a marketer, not a widget provider.

Let me quickly show you the difference between a marketer and a widget provider.

A Widget Provider:                A Marketer:
Has products                            Sells products
Talked to prospects                   Continually talks to a list of prospects
Has customers                          Builds relationships with customers
Owns a business                       Grows their business
Hopes they’ll stay in business     Is building their business future

So how do you become a marketer?

I’ll get into that with subsequent emails. However, here are a few questions I want you to think about:

Do you know the difference between advertising and marketing?
Are you building your prospect and customer lists?
Does your business have a marketing “system” in place?

Remember, marketing can make the difference between doing alright, and skyrocketing your business!
