Leaders Who Scale

It’s time to start implementing new systems into your business because the longer you wait, the harder it gets. Ryan Bennett has been working on implementing new systems since he bought Cliffstone Corp in 2017 and has had great results. You’ll learn when the right time to hire your next employee is, how to instill a culture in your company, and how to focus on working on the business and not in it.
 
Takeaways: 
It’s important to implement systems that can run the business without you before you really start scaling because systems get harder to implement the bigger your company is.
Think about which tasks that you do could be handled by someone else. This will allow you to put more focus on scaling your company.
While a new software may seem expensive today, you need to look at the ROI down the road. Once you look at the benefits of that new process, it will be an easy decision.
A great way to reinforce your company’s culture, even if your employees are usually split apart, is to have events for all of the employees like cookouts. This also shows your employees that they are really appreciated.
Do more with your core values than just talking about them, use them to hold each other accountable every day. Develop a way to track where you and your employees are in relation to your core values.
After each project, do a job cost analysis. This is really the only way to check the accuracy of the estimates you give and make sure you are in line with your budget.
 Don’t be afraid to hire a new employee, more work will find you, and it’s important to be prepared for when that work comes along.
