If so, you may become a HIRED GUN that many businesses will need in the future, especially as we transition into the “Knowledge Worker” era. Operations and systems allow entrepreneurs to focus on (and leverage) their expertise and passions – and not worry about the running of their repeatable business tasks – although those systems are the key to long term success.
Michael Gerber, the author of ‘The E-Myth’ – a bestselling book that focuses on the importance of business systemization: “Most businesses fail to fully achieve their potential. That’s because the person who owns the business doesn’t truly know how to build a company that works without him or her – which is the key.”
(Yes or No)
Living by LISTS:
- Do you make lists?
- Everyday?
- If you do something not on the list, do you go back and add it on the list and then check it off.
Attention to DETAIL:
- Are you detail oriented?
- Are you the one who makes sure a task is COMPLETE?
- Do you dot the I’s and cross the T’s?
- And then PROOF read everything, one last time?
- (Although this won’t be your role) Have you had experience in accounting, legal, or planning (or even being the main organizer of your high school reunion)?
So what’s in it for you? OSMOSIS!

Recently, I created a “Help Wanted Ad” for some a support position to help me with the growth of my business and posted it to my website. In stead of the old way of posting ads with newspapers and then sifting through a stack of job-seeking-tire-kickers, I wanted to elevate the relationship level to one of someone who was familiar with my work (via my website) or at least to get a referral – friend of a friend. So why I am telling you this story? Well it seems to be a topic of interest lately – getting good calibre staff – and we seem to turn to our travelling sales reps and ask them if they know of anyone looking. As funeral directors, we forget that we have a large volume of “eyeballs” checking out obituaries on our websites and leaving condolences. Why not have a “Careers” or “Job Opportunities” section on your website?
Although I have posted this under the “Careers” category, it probably should be called “Opportunities” or “Internet Apprenticeship” but at least with “Careers” you will know that I am looking for some help.
