Welcome to the Streetsmart CEO Blog!

 This series of blogs shows how to operate a business with streetsmart,

pragmatic processes, so that you, the owner or manager will have more success and…

   less stress, so that you regain the perspective that…

you own the business…the business doesn’t own you!

This series of blogs is about the following:

• How to setup the streetsmart processes in your business so that the business can run on its own, most of the time
• What you can delegate, and what you should not
• How to make sure you are getting proper and timely feedback to make sure your processes are performing properly
• How to manage the exceptions when your processes are not performing properly.
• The streetsmart process for hiring
• And more…

You will not find such topics as “basics of marketing”, “basics of accounting”, etc. in this series.

     There is plenty of information available on these topics.

What you will find addressed are topics like:

” How do I create demand for my products and services”,

“How much marketing should I do?”, “Who should do this marketing?”, “Should I outsource or do it in-house (or both)?”,

“How much involvement is required by me?”,

“What should I know about accounting and finance?”,

“What can I delegate and what degree of involvement is required by me?”,

“How can I use my time in the most efficient manner?”

As I said earlier, this series is written from the Owner/CEO/President perspective.

I will walk with you, looking through “your” eyes, to analyze strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities that exist in your business.

Then we will look at strategies as how to maximize the strengths, take advantage of the opportunities, and minimize the weaknesses.

This is not an academic approach.

This series is designed to give you street smart, time tested processes with which you can run your business more efficiently and successfully,

…and with less stress.
