I spent 2 years looking at 100s of “systems” to help my businesses run better.
I found 7 that are the best at solving the problems every business has.
They have transformed my businesses, career, and life by allowing me to focus 100% on pleasing my customers.
Here they are!
PROCESS/STRATEGY/VISON/ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN
- EOS/Traction
- Cost: $17.99 for a book.
It is a very practical guide that solves all of these for an SMB.
Think of it as "business by worksheet."
Guides you from a 10-year big vision down to what you're doing each week.
MARKETING
-Storybrand
-Cost: $12.99 book.
What EOS does for its areas, Storybrand does for marketing.
Think of it as "marketing by worksheet."
It uses the same Hero's Journey (think Star Wars) that resonates with everyone.
Then turns that into highly effective marketing.
HIRING TOP TALENT
-Topgrading
-Cost: $14.99 book.
This is the "contrarian's hiring methodology".
It takes all the common, broken ideas in hiring and does the opposite.
You get a process that only high performers get through.
(Caveat: great ideas but some a bit dated.)
PERSONALITY ASSESSMENTS
-Culture Index
-Cost: Thousands/yr (sorry)
Unlike Meyers-Briggs, DISC, etc -- it's scientifically backed.
So you can use it in hiring.
It's also valuable as you try to "meet your employees where they are."
We're all unique special flowers after all :-)
