So many people have reached out to us over the years. I’ve asked me don’t say on the phone. They say when they fill out the form at drivetime, show or it’ll say to me in person. I will say to you the marshall when you’re doing you’re, 13, point assessment still say to you and rick shop. When you’re doing the assessment still say, my business has gotten to a point where I’m starting to make some profit, but I need help making systems right you’re there delilah. Do you like system going to duplicate myself, somehow it systems but i, don’t think people understand what systems look like now, marshall I’m going to get your I’m going to lean on you heavily for this segment of the of the show. But this morning in the meeting, remember the voicemail we played this morning. What was the voicemail? He kind of explain the listeners where that voicemail came from those I mean this is obviously a church ellensburg. What was the date, the origin of the voicemail? What was a voicemail about is the church in owensboro about the workflow and things flowing correctly and i. Don’t know how far I can go with the business coach quote, but but this was the first week it was a voicemail in response to the first week of having all of the systems operate. They were the way that they were supposed to operate. Their signs on the street with people waving at people are right by inviting them to go to church. That christ loves them. That’s right, and there was somebody who was really going through a rough time in their life, and they called the church to tell the church how much those just out of the blue. It wasn’t. It wasn’t like they were soliciting like customers, but just the experience of executing the systems and not to go super deep I’ll go in a little bit.

There was one at church, I work with way back in the day, and a woman said that she was going to have an abortion, which would mean you would terminate the life of an unborn child, whether you are in favor of pro-life or not that’s what that means. You’re going to abort life of an unborn child minutes, somebody would not get a chance to live that so, like 50, cent, curtis, I last name jackson the rapper. He grew up in a rough environment where his mother decided not to have an abortion of famous people out there. They don’t realize, like steve jobs was an adoption baby, there’s. Actually someone who called this church and said I was going to have an abortion, but you guys the business coach signs. You said there is an option. It’s called adoption of those signs caused me to look into it and that’s why I have a kid today and I’ve heard that numerous times. So when I talk about at church, putting out signs like to me, it’s serious deal and if you take away the religious aspects of the abortion or something heavy you think about, like your haircut business, you don’t put up the signs. If people don’t show up so the linear workflow, it’s creating the documents, it’s documenting the systems that have to work together and it shows on a whiteboard on a big wall, how the systems fit together and where the ball is potentially being dropped. As you go from left to right on the timeline from the time that you turn the left, you do your branding, then you go into marketing. Then you go into sales.

Did you go into product delivery? Then you going to accounting so I’m going to do another book or don’t like me to kind of break down at work clothes work there marshall sears, another recordable from jay walker, the actual founder of priceline. He says:hire people to execute on solutions to solve problems. Don’t hire people to solve problems fundamental you have to solve problems. First, then, hire people to execute against the solutions you created. The owner has to make the work. What what I’m so passionate about this just breathe? I had I had two meetings today where I talked about this in the this is what everybody that’s listening needs to write down mentally committed, listen back to it. Do whatever you need to do to remember this, but you as a business owner as a manager. You must manage strategy in delegate execution, manage strategy, delegate, execution, wet I am doing business coach okay, whatever it is that you’re doing whether you’re installing siding on a house whether you are doing a bathroom remodel. What who are the people who do the cyst? That’s right, what do i? How do I need to document what I am currently doing so that I never have to do it again, so what you are doing as a process that you don’t know what you’re doing now, wes carter, you are not a process engineer, but you are an attorney. Attorneys can explain the way the wall works on a third grade. Levels of the average client gets it for attorneys. Talk over the heads of their client explain why that is always true law school. Some people get the mistaken understanding that the bigger words and the longer sentences we use the better attorneys. We are when our job is really to communicate. Something to our client and clients speak in everyday language, and if we can’t communicate or not really worth the money they’re playing some language, would you continue hey a notable quotable breeze I did not get caught up and semantics, you know, but if you could just focus on the syntax, if you just wax poetic for a minute relate to the common.

People comes from a leather bound books. Thank you from henry, ford, okay, he says the competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his business better. All of the time and place you can catch issues in the system. If you can’t see the where the ball has been dropped, you can’t fix it. Til you make a linear workflow from left to right, a document, a map. It looks like a diagram equator diagramming, a sentence. It’s like you’re playing, the game was:what’s it shoots and ladders?

How do you help the first thing you got to do? Is you got to walk through you got it. We got this list of action and right here creating these boxes. We literally sit down with the client and we write it out on a whiteboard, because here’s what’s going to happen you’re going to go business coach through this i, don’t know four five six seven times and every time you do it. Imagine that you’re, the customer. You are the ideal unlikely fire walking through this process in your things, are going to open up a good example would be if you were working with the river, city, church, right and I use. This I use this example of light with my client, i, say:okay, let’s imagine you’re going to a big church.

What’s the first interaction you have with the church and they all say it’s either like greeters or getting coffee and I say you’re very close, but it’s actually the parking lot right if the parking lot, if you pull up to a building that has 15 cars out front, you don’t know where to park. You don’t know what door to go in you’re going to turn around and leave, and that’s why river city is so awesome. Cuz pastor brian has a heart to reach people that don’t know christ and he just wants to make a duplicatable process. So nobody gets forgotten. He wants everyone to know that christ loves them and his intention is not for anybody to feel like they’re, forgotten, west, winters and king.
