Many small business owners have challenges and don’t know how to break through the countless bottlenecks to improve their performance and achieve their goals. Too often they’re focused on working in their business instead of working on their business. They get pulled into the weeds putting out daily fires. They should be spending their valuable time developing and executing the strategies needed for long-term success. Their business is stuck. Does this sound familiar?

Owners need a framework to operate their business so they can achieve the results they want while having the confidence that their company is operating smoothly and effectively.

The Peak Results Framework

Consider the Peak Results framework to help you take control and operate your business:

Strategy – First, start with the end in mind by identifying the direction you want your business to go and creating a clear picture of what it looks like at some future point in time.

Planning – Next, develop the roadmap, or plan, on how you’ll get there. This includes goals, strategies and budgets.

People – Then, owners need to provide the leadership and define their culture. This includes building an engaged team of the Right People and making sure their strengths are best utilized in your organization, the Right Seats. Credit to Jim Collins from “Good to Great.”

Processes – Identify, document and manage the key processes used to operate your organization. Eliminate bottlenecks and redundancies to operate more effectively and efficiently.

Execution – Use data to measure performance and identify, and solve, problems quickly throughout your company. Develop open communications and drive accountability to get things done.

Results – This leads to achieving your goals and producing the results you want from your business…Peak Results!

If your company is not performing effectively or you’re not achieving the results you want, evaluate your current framework, if you have one. Implement one that will provide the results you are looking for from your business.
