Has Creating the Business of your Dreams Stalled for You?

Free download 5 Secrets to Systemising Your Business

Have you noticed how insanely hard you are working although you’re unclear as to why you seem to still be at square one? Have you noticed that you seem to be changing from one task to another to another and it never stops? One minute you’re paying invoices, then you’re answering phones, then you’re going out to network with a new client. It’s insane. Imagine yourself doing this same process for another five years, perhaps another 25 years. Do you think you will build the business of your dreams?

Let me let you in on a secret: if you are always doing the technical work in your business, you will be doing that work for the rest of your life. If you always take control of every single situation and task required to be done, you will always be the person responsible for doing it. If you are your business you don’t actually own a business. Instead, you have a job.

A successful business is something that works with or without you. Let me tell you a story about McDonalds that was started up by the McDonalds brothers. Ray Kroc was actually the CEO of McDonalds and the man responsible for turning it into a massive global business by franchising it; the McDonalds brothers were the guys who actually invented the idea of McDonalds and ran their little store. Ray Kroc systemised the McDonalds brothers business and created franchises all around America. The McDonalds brothers never managed to expand their business beyond one store because they were the ones flipping the burgers, taking orders and making sure bills were paid. The difference was that Ray Kroc owned a business and the McDonalds brothers had jobs in their business.

Jessica Kiely, a very successful young entrepreneur, had a similar type of problem in her business and found that she was doing everything. She recently went through the transition of setting up her business to have systems. It almost killed her writing down her first system about how to produce one of her workshops. Once she had written the system down she hired someone to take over the system and run the production in her business. The relief she felt from delegating one of the responsibilities in her business allowed her to focus on other parts of her business and continue to grow it, getting her closer to having the business of her dreams that runs entirely without her.

We at The FRANK Team have noticed that you like many other young entrepreneurs face major challenges when growing your business, because you don’t know how to systemise it and stop doing all of the jobs inside of it.

Jessica has written an extremely helpful guide on the process she went through to help you on the road to systemising your business.

Oh to be a millionaire!

In the past year, the number of high net worth Aussies increased by 11 000 - to 172 000. These 172 000 people are worth, on average, $3.2 million each, according to the World Wealth Report released last month.

The most popular things that these people lke to invest in include:
- private jet aircraft
- custom-designed and made yachts
- luxury cars
- fine art
- jewellery

My only conclusion is to get to the point that I can afford my customised yacht and my fine art collection - start my own business!

Green Business - a Threat or an Opportunity?

I don't think a single day goes by that we don't hear something about climate change or petrol prices. Or both. Multiple times.

There's two ways we can look at climate change, and petrol prices - a threat or an opportunity.

Yes, they are a threat to our way of life, the well-being of our people and our planet. And also a threat to how we currently do business, as we move to cut greenhouse gas emissions and costs are driven up in various ways.

They're also an AMAZING opportunity for new business. According to BRW (July 3-9, 2008), up to 3.25 million workers will need to re/up-skill if Australia makes big cuts to greenhouse gas emissions. Possible areas are renewable energy, green buildings, and low emission vehicles (if you could put out a less expensive hybrid, I can assure you that I would buy it!).

How about, instead of just up-skilling, up-skill and get out there on your own? Start up a green business, taking advantage of the huge opportunities for growth, and help the move towards green technology and lower emissions.

Profiled: Pick 'n' Drop

Ever heard of Pick 'N' Drop - "a new and innovative service which makes the hassle of drycleaning as easy as answering your door! No need to worry about when or where you send your drycleaning."

I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't - because they've only been in operation two weeks! We were lucky enough to meet the three young entrepreneurs behind Pick 'N' Drop at our Young Entrepreneurs Workshop at the Sutherland Shire Hub for Economic Development just a couple of weeks ago.

Pick 'N' Drop will pick up your clothes for dry cleaning, and then drop them back when they're clean! They operate in the CBD, Eastern Suburbs and North Shore.

Nallakkumar Karunanithy, one of the three directors, explains below the motivation for starting up a business with his good friends and how the idea came about.

"The opportunity came to us during our brainstorming sessions, all three of us strive in challenging ourselves and we decided to start up our own business, regardless of the industry, just to gain the experience and thrill of doing something for our own benefit rather than working for a particular company or individual. We studied available markets and decided we needed to introduce something innovative and fresh, the Sydney business market/s is flooded with competition, so to start anything in one of those markets would have been near impossible without an endless supply of marketing capital...which we did not have. Our service is practically unheard of, so once we tap into the industry and spread the word, we have no doubt that our service will be useful. Pinpointing the idea was as easy as looking for a particular need in a market, that was not currently being satisfied, and the pick up and drop off idea really caught our attention as being a viable project to look into."

On the first week of operation:
"Things are slow, as always at the start of anything but we've had a few calls/orders and the people using the seem interested, so it looks promising."

And just a little bit about the three directors:
"We're all 23yr olds, known each other through university of Wollongong. I'm doing a Bachelor of Computer Science, my partner Amir does a Bachelor of Exercise Science and Rehabilitation. We're both graduate students who just completed our last semesters, and our third partner is Jay, who's doing a Bachelor of Medical Science and he completes his course at the end of the year. We're more like brothers than mates so its another reason as to why we decided to do this together."

Good luck guys!
