Running A Business - The Production Hat
If you don’t have a product or service, you have no business. How you produce your product or deliver your service will determine the succes of your business.
How is your product or service different and better than your competition? what do you do that makes your product or service better?
Today we will work on the production column of your business hats form. All other columns on your form exist because of this column.
List all the tasks you personally perform each week dealing with production. Include anything about manufacturing your product or producing your service. Include shipping, travel time … everything. If you have employees doing your production, include the time you deal with employees.
Again, after you finsih your list, estimate the hours your spend each week on each task, then total all tasks and write the total at the bottom of the column and circle it.
Tomorrow, we deal with Marketing & Sales!
Global Marketing Plus was started to help small businesses compete on the same level as large corporations but for a lot less expense.

Great post! I already know there are not enough hours in the day for me. So, I tend to do business stuff in the AM / switch to my new Mod duties for 30 mins / do something for me / then back to business.
In other words.. I gotta keep it mixed up and brewing like a good stew.
Putting on my thinking hat now for today’s post
