Mark’s in Lanzarote today, drawing a link between business systems and pruning systems….
Today, I’m in Lanzarote with the coconut tree trimming expert who has a clever system for safely cutting down coconuts and tree leaves without endangering guests at this lovely hotel.
His safety system involves securing his legs in metal contraptions as he ascends the tree daily at various hotel resorts across Lanzarote and possibly Tenerife. What’s remarkable about his method is the incremental approach he takes, ensuring the tree grows effectively while maintaining safety.
Just like this expert uses his system daily with precision, it’s vital to assess if your business systems are similarly reliable and result-driven. Regularly checking the performance of your systems ensures they align with your business goals and deliver the desired outcomes consistently.
Furthermore, having a safety net, like the rope the expert uses, is essential in case of any deviations or shortcomings in your systems. Ensuring that your data is monitored, your team is well trained, and there’s a feedback mechanism in place acts as a safety net for your business, preventing any major issues due to oversight or underperformance.
It’s crucial to monitor your systems, ensure they perform optimally, and produce the necessary results to support your business growth. I hope you found this analogy informative.
