Clockwork: Design Your Business to Run Itself

Mike Michalowicz (mi-CAL-low-wits) co-founded Profit First Professionals, a membership organization of accountants, bookkeepers, and business coaches that teach the Profit First technique.

Do you fear that your company may fail without your regular presence? Are you sacrificing your family, friends, and independence in order to keep your business running? What if, instead, your business could run itself, allowing you to do what you love when you want as it grows and profits? It's conceivable. And it's a lot simpler than you think.

If you're like most entrepreneurs, you established your company to be your own boss, make the money you deserve, and live life on your own terms. In fact, you're buried in the daily grind, continuously putting out fires, answering a never-ending stream of queries, and looking for income.

Mike Michalowicz, author of Profit First and other small-business best-sellers, now presents a simple step-by-step solution to this quandary. In Clockwork, he draws on more than six years of research and real-world examples to describe his straightforward method to increasing the efficiency of your organization.

Among other effective tactics, you will learn how to:

• Make your employees think like business owners: Free yourself from micromanagement by implementing a simple strategy that allows your employees to make sound decisions without your intervention.
• Determine the most crucial role in your company: Unleash extraordinary efficiency by identifying and focusing everyone on the single most important function to your firm.
• Determine what has to be fixed next: Most entrepreneurs attempt to address every inefficiency at once and end up doing nothing. Use the "weakest link in the chain" strategy to determine which fix will add the greatest value right now.
• Clockwork is your route to finally making your business work for you, whether you have a team of one, one hundred, or somewhere in between, whether you're a rookie entrepreneur or have been overworked and overstressed for years.
