Building the Architecture
Not unlike your business, mine started with an idea and the right resources. Very early on, I met Mike Michaelowitz. He's the author of many great books and the founder of several certification programs which have added incredible value to my business, and more importantly to our Better Business Better Life Program. If you haven't heard of Mike, I strongly urge you to get to know his work—especially with his new book (insert drumroll here), Fix This Next.
While he has published several books over the last couple of decades or so, The Pumpkin Plan and Profit First provided a strong jumping-off point for me and my business. Not only do I incorporate these methodologies in my own practice, I believe in them so much that I became a Certified Pumpkin Planner and Mike's very first Profit First Professional. Now, I have the great privilege to say I am a “Founding Fixer” as Mike launches Fix This Next (April 28, 2020). This book and our certification is an immediate value to our Better Business Better Life Program and we can't wait to get started!
The Business Hierarchy of Needs
Fix This Next offers a simple system to eradicate these frustrations and get your business moving forward, fast. (Image is taken from Fix This Next.)
Through his journey and research he figured out that every business has a hierarchy of needs, and if you can understand where you are in that hierarchy, you can identify what needs immediate attention. Simply fix that one thing next, and your business will naturally and effortlessly level-up. I can't wait to share more about our experience in utilizing Mike's tools to help every client build a “Legacy” business.
