Business Book of the Month Lesson 2 August Book of the Month: The E Myth; Revisited ; Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It: Lesson 2: Think of your business as a national franchise, then start with one store. The solution to that problem, according to Gerber, lies in systems. Ever since McDonalds, businesses have relied on franchising to make handing over the keys easy and comfortable. If you plan your business as a nationwide franchise from day one, you’ll end up systematizing everything as soon as you get a handle on things, which will then allow you to remove and replace yourself from that particular job and sustainably grow the business. So imagine you’re just building your first franchise store, what’s your unique value for the customers? Maybe it’s serving the most delicious flavored lattes in town, which all come with free cookies. You as the business owner of course know how to make those, but in a franchise you must ensure that all of your employees can make them just as well. Therefore, you should come up with incredibly detailed how-to manuals, which you can then use to train your first employee! Taking it a step further, you will eventually also have to write a manual on how to train employees, so potential franchise owners also know how to school their staff. Your franchise prototype, combined with a set of detailed manuals for everything, will make sure that every customer has the same experience and make your business results reliable and predictable.
