Many of us entered business as a technician. You know technical nature of this business; you do it everyday; over and over again. The question is: How can you do this technical work with highest level of efficiency and effectiveness so that you'll have a great business?

Some of you entered business as manager. You plan, you quantify, and you implement it with and through others. The question is: How can you do management work that will get your team to work for as though they're running their own business?

Some of you entered business as an entrepreneur. You have this wonderful idea. You're an innovator. How do I get others to see it, to feel it, to breathe it?

Is this familiar to you? It should be, there is an entrepreneur, manager and technician in all of us. We need all three to have a successful business.

Building a Business FOR YOU is just about 3 steps:

Step 1: Why You Do What You Do

The starting point for building a business that works begins with why you do what you do. The challenge facing most business owners is understanding of what they want for their life. It's not cars, money, or house. It is essence, purpose of their life. It's source of their passion and their vitality. It gives them clarity and purpose. It is their guiding light. It is what we call their Ultimate Objective.

Do you know your Ultimate Objective? The business is designed and built to give you what you want, because it's your life we're talking about.

Many managers and business leaders fall into one of two extreme categories:

They delegate too little and try to do it all themselves or they give too much away, abdicating both their responsibilities and prerogatives of power.

As their businesses grow, many entrepreneurs try to micro-manage. We've all heard term, but too often we fail to recognize symptoms until it's too late. For entrepreneurs, sense that this is 'my company' or belief that 'if I want it done right I have to do it myself' causes them to hold on too tightly and limit their results.
