The largest companies in the world spend millions of dollars every year in an effort to eliminate waste and improve efficiencies; they do this because the cost of not doing it, is greater.
As a small business owner, you might not have millions of dollars to spend, but you can leverage the same principles, to make sure your business is running as lean as possible and to guarantee the largest return on your investment. I’ve worked with some of the world’s leading companies to help ensure their businesses are running as lean as possible and now I help small business owners achieve the same results, helping them retain as much profit and time as possible.
In Episode 75, I show you five main areas that business owners leave time and profit on the table. This episode is taken from the Lean Out Method’s limited series podcast Do Less, Scale Faster, which goes into great detail on how you can simplify and scale your business and where I introduce you to our Lean Business Scaling System.
